Practicum Opportunities

Approved practicum sites can include community mental health organizations, non-profit agencies, medical and psychiatric hospital settings, schools, or institutions. Below is a list of featured practicum sites that are currently partnered with the university. This list is fluid in the sense that new partner sites can be secured provided the organization meets the requirements as an approved site.

To select a practicum site that best aligns with your areas of interest and professional and personal goals, spend time exploring each potential practicum site's website to identify how their values, services, and programs differ. Practicum placements require advance coordination and often involve an application process, including an interview. As you explore options for practicum sites, it is important that you inquire about the process and timeline for placement as well as confirm the prospective Site Supervisor meets the eligibility requirements for supervision (refer to your program handbook).

Please note that once you identify a practicum site, you will work with your advisor to confirm that the organization is an approved practicum partner. If you are interested in an organization not currently partnered with the university, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the University of Redlands and the site will be required before you begin practicum. Once provided with the necessary information, the Office of Licensures and Credentialing will start the process of obtaining the MOU.
