At Governors State University College of Health and Human Services, we depend on our partners in the health and human services fields to provide internship and practicum opportunities which help prepare our students for the actual situations they will experience in their first jobs after they graduate. 

If you would like to work with us to place students in your facility, please contact one of our Field Experience Coordinators.

If you would like to apply to study in one of our programs, please contact the Admissions Representative listed for that program.
