The psychology internship program abides by the APPIC policy of not soliciting or accepting any ranking-related information from applicants prior to the APPIC Match Day.
Selected applicants are invited to attend one of our three virtual Interview Days. During the Interview Days, prospective interns are introduced to the program and some staff, participate in individual interviews with the faculty, and meet to learn more about the program with current trainees. Unstructured time to interact with faculty and trainees is also provided.
Students from APA-accredited (as well as CPA-accredited) graduate programs will be considered. Preference is given to applicants from programs in clinical, counseling, and school psychology. Adequate preparation for the internship includes completion of basic graduate coursework and 250 practicum hours in intervention and 100 practicum hours in assessment. Experience working with both children and adults is desirable, but not required.
Please note that interns are required to pass their comprehensive exams and have their dissertation proposal approved prior to the start of the internship.
