Internship
The third year of study centers around the nine-month, 700-hour clinical internship. As interns in community agencies, students receive on-site supervision while working in a specialized area. During this year, students join with classmates to practice weekly meditation. In addition, students participate in small tutorial groups of three students and two clinical faculty members weekly.
Graduates leave the program with a strong foundation in the principles and practices of promoting health in themselves and in others. They are qualified to work as counselors and psychotherapists in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, residential treatment facilities and social service agencies.
