Practicum Opportunities

To help prepare you for your career in psychology, we encourage you to do an internship to practice what you learn in the classroom. To help you further your education with unique experiences, The School of Education provides several options. These options range from local organizations to those across the country and across the globe. Getting involved with these opportunities will grow and develop your skills beyond the classroom and prepare you for the future.
