For Prospective Students

Opportunities for Experiential Learning at the Interprofessional Center

We firmly believe that the best way to learn our professions is to practice them. We offer St. Thomas students the opportunity to do just that under the close supervision of licensed professionals. Only students already admitted to their respective programs of study are eligible to apply to the Interprofessional Center. The links to the left provide information about how current St. Thomas students in Law, Social Work (both BSW and MSW), and Professional Psychology (Psy.D students) can make application to participate.
