PSYC 0690 - Internship (Mental Health and Forensic Mental Health Counseling)

Credits: 3-12

These courses are designed to help the student evaluate and improve skills as a counselor. The major emphasis of these courses will be on the practical and applied, rather than the strictly theoretical, and will include a considerable degree of role playing and presentation of counseling tapes. Students work at a practicum site of their choice in addition to class hours. Students seeking Massachusetts Certification as guidance counselors must see their advisor before registering to get the correct number of course and semester hours. It is recommended that the comprehensive examination be completed before taking the practicum. Offered with variable credit for the convenience of the student and supervisor, these courses may be repeated for credit.
