Twelve graduate students from the Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology (CCSP) at UC Santa Barbara’s Gevirtz School have earned prestigious 2022-2023 internships across the country to complete their work for a Ph.D. Each year, students in their final year of doctoral studies compete nationally for APA-Accredited pre-doctoral internships to complete the applied portion of their degrees.
As in years past, this year was extremely competitive with nearly 4,000 students vying for positions nationwide. Melissa Morgan, Director of Clinical Training, notes, “We are so proud of all of our wonderful interns and their super placements. We know this final step in their training will serve them well as they move into their careers. They also represent CCSP in a great light!”
