The clinical training includes a core curriculum which provides a solid foundation in the theory and application of testing/assessment, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions. The capstone clinical experience is a one-year internship in an approved setting chosen to crystallize and enhance the trainees' professional interests. Internship sites have included mental health agencies, university counseling centers, psychiatric hospitals, family treatment centers with diverse clientele including children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, substance abuse treatment centers, and correctional facilities. The research sequence prepares the student to undertake a quality thesis under the guidance of a faculty sponsor and a thesis committee. A combination of required and elective courses meet the requirements for master's-level licensure in Illinois (and many other states).
