Applicant Process & Qualifications
Application Process
We use the APPIC Online Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI) that can be found at: http://appic.org. Of note, we require one de-identified integrated assessment report to be submitted as supplemental material with your application. The deadline for receipt of your application is December 1.
Applicant Qualifications
Interns are expected to have completed at least three years of doctoral study with a recommended number of 400 intervention hours and 40 assessment hours before entering our internship. If applicants are below the minimum number of recommended hours but are otherwise a strong fit for our program, they are encouraged to apply.
Furthermore, applicants must:
- Complete their Master’s degree requirements prior to the application deadline (if applicable in their doctoral program);
- Pass Comprehensive Exams by the ranking deadline; and
- Have Dissertation Proposal approval by the start of the internship (July 1st of following academic year).
Emphasis Tracks
Intern applicants are matched according to emphasis track interests. This allows Interns to accumulate a specific expertise that is consistent with their career interests and enhances their marketability upon graduation. This emphasis training will occur during one 4-month rotation and on one day for the entire year of internship.
When applying via APPIC applicants may select from four track choices.
