Psychology Internships

Students often elect to complete an internship in their junior or senior year. It’s a great way to get some “real-world” experience! Your internship placement depends on your interests. Do you want to work with children? Runaways? Those addicted to drugs? Those with developmental disabilities? Those with mental health issues? Families impacted by domestic abuse? Whatever your interests, there is an internship placement for you!

PSY- 491 Internship

Internships in local institutions and agencies are available during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters under the course titled Internship in Psychology (PSY-491). If you are interested in taking this course, early consultation with Dr. Thomas-Cottingham will serve several purposes:

• (a) you will learn of the available placements and their requirements,
• (b) Dr. Thomas-Cottingham will be aware of your special interests, and
• (c) you will have sufficient time to take courses to prepare for a particular type of field experience.

See a recent list of agencies that have recently provided placements for our students below. Placements in other settings may be arranged with Dr. Thomas-Cottingham.
