Hi intern applicants,
I wanted you to have the information on the Mississippi State University Counseling Center internship, which is accepting its inaugural class next year.
Since they are new they are not yet accredited, but they have already submitted an intent to apply application to APA and received feedback. They are planning on submitting their self-study as soon as they have interns on campus.
Here are a few things that stand out about the program:
1. These are full benefit positions, so they come with the same health insurance and retirement permanent employees receive. For anyone with a health condition this is a really big advantage.
2. Interns are eligible for the faculty housing program, which provides low-cost housing, and when combined with the $30,000 stipend makes for a generous package, especially for Mississippi
Although counseling center experience is a bonus, it is not required.
The full announcement is below and the website can be found here: Counseling Services :: Mississippi State University.
Please think about it and let me know if you have any questions!
Michael
