Internships
Qualified graduate students (masters-level and doctoral) are invited to take advantage of exceptional training opportunities in mental health counseling through the SDCC. The SDCC provides interns with a comprehensive, supportive experience that also allows them the opportunity to participate in outreach programs such as the nationally-recognized Student Support Network.
The SDCC offers practicum and internship experiences for its interns. The practicum portion runs June-August with the internship portion running August-May. The SDCC is a fast-paced setting, and applicants who have a strong interest in working with young adults in a college setting are encouraged to apply.
