Second option:Students who are flexible in terms of their desired days and times will be given preference.

Read the following items carefully. PLACE YOUR INITIALS beside each item to acknowledge that you’ve read this information:

After you submit your application, MH will send you confirmation that you have been entered into our system. It usually takes a month after the program application deadline for your actual placement to be assigned.

Field internships are in person because social services are delivered in person and this is how students learn by doing. The small number of online internships are reserved for students in a special program.

Students are expected to attend their field internship on time without distractions. If you have special circumstances that could impact your ability to attend the internship (work, family, childcare) you must let us know before enrolling in the class.

Some internships require detailed health forms and fingerprinting. You must be able to provide documentation if required. Funds are currently available to cover fingerprinting.

Students must take different field placements for their first and second fields to gain different professional experiences within human services.

Once students are placed in an internship and enrolled in the class, they cannot switch to a different field class. If your schedule changes you can apply for the following semester.

Priority is given to students closest to graduation. Students eligible for an internship who have fewer credits than those closer to graduation may be put on a waitlist or asked to apply for the following semester. In 2024-2025, many students below 45 credits were asked to wait until the next semester. We are working on opening new internships.

Once you have initialed the points above, and signed and dated the application, the form will be sent to MHfield.internships@kbcc.cuny.edu.
