Students in the Master's in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling program participate in two clinical experiences, a practicum and an internship. This professional practice provides for the application of theory and the development of counseling skills under supervision. These experiences provide opportunities for students to counsel clients who represent the ethnic and demographic diversity of the community.

We have a wide range of practicum and internship sites where students are regularly placed. These sites cover a wide variety of settings, including: addiction recovery centers, business and industry, K-12 schools, colleges and universities, community mental health centers, corrections facilities, hospitals and medical centers, insurance companies, psychiatric rehabilitation facilities, state rehabilitation agencies, veterans’ administration agencies, and workers’ compensation agencies. Current sites include, but are not limited to:
