INTERNSHIP PROGRAM ADMISSIONS
During the course of the internship year students complete one 12-month rotation through their funding site and two, secondary 6-month rotations at other sites associated with the Consortium. Primary funding agencies include: University Counseling Centers (4 positions: 2 at main campus center in Norman and 2 at Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City). Secondary rotations include placement at any of the above primary sites.
