During your clinical experiences, you’ll work alongside faculty, fellow students and credentialed professionals who will help you navigate your chosen field — and set you up for success.
You’ll have the opportunity to network, present at conferences and advance your profession by joining any number of our student organizations, special interest groups and professional associations.
And if you’re pursuing one of our many counseling degrees, you’ll also meet top practitioners from around the region, state, nation and world who come to campus to share and discuss best practices and the latest challenges during our annual UCF Counseling Conference.
Because at UCF, we know that if we want to go far, we must go together.
Clinical Experiences
Through experiential learning opportunities — in clinics, hospitals, schools and community organizations — you’ll graduate with the real-world experience and requirements to earn your credentials. Most students fulfill their practica requirements through the UCF Community Counseling and Research Center, where you’ll gain the confidence to pursue internships off-campus directly through one of our many community partners, including Aspire Health Partners, Grace Medical Home, Orange and Seminole County Public Schools and Orlando Health.
