Where do students complete their internships?
Students intern in schools, mental health centers, agencies, universities, community college, rehabilitation and hospital settings. These internship sites are selected by students based on whether they are specializing in school, community, rehabilitation or college counseling. As time passes, the faculty plans to develop some paid internship/assistantship positions. For a basic Department Directory of potential local internships sites, email Maria Garcia. Directories are available in the Counselor Education office in Foster Hall Room 250.
Students generally obtain internship positions in student affairs-related offices at UW-L in addition to positions at Viterbo. Internships consist of 3 credits for a minimum of 210 hours. Students must complete a form with their internship supervisor at the beginning and end of the experience. In addition, internship supervisors will meet with the Program Director to discuss the experience and conduct an assessment of the students role within the department/unit.
