School Psychology

Each school psychology student will complete a practicum during his or her second year in the program. The practicum, which runs for two semesters during the school year, generally requires 8-10 on-site hours per week as well as additional coursework. Students will be provided with a list of schools at which previous students have completed practica. Students may also find their own sites, subject to approval.

During their third year in the program, school psychology students complete a fulltime internship that runs the entire school year (August-June). Many school districts provide a small stipend for this work. On-campus group supervision is provided, as well. In preparation for this internship, students apply during their second year to districts that have requested interns through the department.

Details regarding field training can be found in the Counseling Psychology Student Handbook and in program-specific manuals available from the department. Oregon's TSPC and NCATE have approved Lewis & Clark's program in school psychology.
