Footnotes:
- Additional hours may be necessary, depending on The Counseling Clinic needs and/or training requirements.
- Approximate distribution of hours. Weekly schedule will be individually negotiated based on intern interests and training needs. Please note we are a high volume clinic and taking dissertation hours during regular business hours are rare. As an incentive to work on their dissertations, interns can count 2-3 hours a week of extra-clinic time spent on dissertation work toward their total internship hours. Interns who are most successful at completing their dissertations during internship are those who are beyond the proposal state by the start of the internship.
