Do students conduct practicum and internship in the Ph.D. program?
• As a CACREP accredited program, you are required to complete a minimum of 100 hours of practicum (individual and group clinical counseling type experiences) and 600 hours of internship (divided up between supervision, teaching, and clinical [clinical can be clinical counseling or counselor education related activities]). Ph.D. students will supervise master’s degree students in school, mental health or rehabilitation counseling programs who are either in practicum or internship. This usually occurs over a couple of semesters. Ph.D. students will also co-teach or teach under faculty supervision (this depends on previous teaching experience) master’s level counseling courses. in the past, some Ph.D. students have the opportunity to teach undergraduate level courses for internship and some for pay as a GTA.
