Internships

In order to develop competency working with individuals and groups, students participate in internships at a variety of industrial and community organizations. For full time students the internship program begins in the second year, for the part time students, the internship is scheduled for the third year. While one semester of internship is required, students have the option to select a second semester of internship in place of a master's thesis.
