Over the past several years, students have completed placements in a broad array of settings including hospital-based clinics, child and adolescent treatment programs, community mental health centers, university counseling centers and correctional facilities. Students are encouraged to seek out placements at existing sites and are also permitted to explore placement opportunities with new sites throughout Michigan. Specific requirements for practicum sites are provided in the Program Manual for admitted students.

Comprehensive Examination

The required Comprehensive Examination is provided for students to demonstrate their knowledge of theory, research, assessment and intervention. The Comprehensive Examination is completed by students during their third year. It is designed to assess students’ learning and to familiarize them with the format of the national licensure exam, the Examination for Professional Practice of Psychology (EPPP).
