Practicum Agency Directory
This directory lists agencies in Missoula and throughout Montana where our students have completed practicum requirements. It is not comprehensive - for a broader list of placement opportunities, use the Sonia practicum placement software.
Click any agency name to visit its website. Practice areas are listed for navigation only; many agencies serve multiple populations and offer learning across micro, mezzo, and macro practice. The specific practicum role is shaped by the learning agreement, supervision, and student interests, not the category listed here.
