Application and Selection

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and interviews will begin in late February. Trainee selections will be made by early April. However, if you have special circumstances that necessitate a review of your application within a specific time frame, we will try to accommodate your request. If you are applying for doctoral practicum in psychology or master’s practicum/internship in psychology, please submit your application by January 1^st, 2026.

Required application materials include:

1. Letter of interest
2. Resume
3. Statement from a faculty member verifying that the applicant is in “good academic standing” and “ready” to participate in training.

Applications must be emailed to Mollie Delzeith, MA, LPC, master's internship and practicum coordinator, at delzeith@msu.edu. 

Selection decisions are based on the center’s available resources (i.e., supervisors, space) and the degree to which our training program has the capacity to meet the needs of the applicant.  Applicants who demonstrate a commitment to the population we serve (i.e., diverse young adults) are preferred. All trainees offered a position must pass a background check (MSU pays this cost) prior to beginning training.

To aid in protecting privacy and minimizing potential conflict of interest for those who train at CAPS, applicants to our training program must not have received clinical services from MSU CAPS within 3 years from date of application. Triage/initial consultations and referral coordination appointments will not considered clinical services affecting eligibility.
