*The BSU School Psychology Internship Consortium Conforms to CDSPP guidelines and is listed in the CDSPP Internship Directory.
Over the last seven years, 100% (n=42) of our candidates who pursued an internship have obtained a paid internship. Internships ranged in pay from $15,000 to $33,000. School-based internships have the highest salary, which is typically equivalent to a beginning teacher’s salary. Candidates are encouraged to complete an internship that is consistent with the Council of Directors of School Psychology Programs (CDSPP) and APPIC guidelines. All students in the past seven years have opted to complete an internship that conforms to APA, CDSPP and/or APPIC guidelines. Of the 42 candidates who have completed an internship in the last seven years, 33.33% (n=14) obtained an APA internship, six obtained an APPIC (14.29%) internship, and 22 obtained a CDSPP (52.38%) internship. Many of our candidates decided to complete an internship locally based upon family and/or personal reasons. Additionally, many in-state candidates choose to participate in the BSU Internship Consortium because they plan on staying and working in Indiana after graduation. Our BSU Internship Consortium is listed in the CDSPP Internship Directory and meets all CDSPP guidelines. The Consortium also meets all APPIC guidelines, although it is not APPIC approved. Internships developed through the BSU Internship Consortium typically involve placement in a hospital, mental health, private practice, and/or school setting within a one- to two-hour drive from Muncie, Indiana. Since 2005, the program has encouraged candidates to obtain APPIC and APA approved internships. The program schedules meetings each year to educate and prepare candidates to apply for and pursue APPIC and APA approved internships. Candidates must successfully complete the preliminary exam and dissertation proposal process prior to applying for internship (implemented 2004-2005).
