Interested in partnering with the CMHC program by being an internship site?
In the third and final year of the program, our CMHC students spend 2-3 semesters at a community-based internship site. If your organization is interested in a partnership the first step is to attend an information session. We have an application process where applications are then reviewed by the Counseling and Counseling Psychology Staff. Organizations that are a good fit for our students and program are then invited to an Internship Fair each fall semester where they can begin interviewing students. If you are interested in more information and to register for the next information session, please email us.
