Admissions, Support and Initial Placement Data

Our Clinical Psychology Internship Training Program emphasizes evidence-based care and recognizes the importance of clinical science training and practice. Our three Tracks all ascribe to a clinical science training model. Interns who are grounded in evidence-based practice and research and/or who are strong consumers of research will be a good fit for our program. Interns whose practicum experiences and career trajectories reflect faculty strengths will be favorably regarded.
