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 have partnered with the university in the past. This list is fluid in the sense that new partner sites can be secured provided the organization meets the requirements as an approved site. If you are interested in one of the sites listed below, please ensure that we have an active partnership with the site by viewing our active partnerships list.
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 or the Practicum page for specific site supervisor requirements).
Please confirm there is an active Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the practicum site you are interested in by reviewing the active partnership list. If you are interested in an organization not currently partnered with the university, please notify the Office of Licensures and Credentialing (OLC@redlands.edu) via e-mail as soon as possible because new practicum partnerships require an MOU between the University of Redlands and the site. The contractual agreement process can take up to three months.
