The MACCP program is the second Masters program at SMCM (following the successful Master of Teaching program). The salary range for this position is $75,000 to $79,000 based on level of experience; startup costs are negotiable; benefits information is available online.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The standard teaching load is 12 credits (usually, the equivalent of 3 courses) per semester.

Teaching responsibilities will include courses in the Master of Arts in Counseling and Clinical Psychology program (e.g., Psychopathology and Diagnosis, Multicultural Counseling, Lifespan Development, Group Counseling, Psychological Testing, Family Systems in Practice), as well as the possibility of undergraduate courses in your area of specialization to provide cross-program collaboration with the Psychology major.
At SMCM, we seek faculty whose pedagogical practice involves culturally responsive teaching practices that promote belonging and inclusion. New faculty are paired with mentors to support your growth as a teacher-scholar. In addition, we offer start-up funding to support your research, especially encouraging projects that relate to the training of psychotherapy practitioners. Over time, professors take on roles in services to the program and College to support the College's mission; first-year faculty are exempt from college-wide committee work.
Non-sectarian since its founding, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated a national public honors college. With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary’s faculty benefit from a comprehensive program of support for scholarship, research, travel, and curriculum development, including course releases for pretenure faculty and leaves for tenured faculty. The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Ph.D. in Counseling or Clinical Psychology or related field (ABD acceptable at the time of application)
Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
St. Mary’s College embodies diversity and inclusion in its mission. We create an environment that recognizes the value of individual and group differences and we encourage inquiries from applicants who will contribute to our cultural and ethnic diversity.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application materials should include a cover letter (which should speak to ways in which the candidate's teaching will contribute to the training of Masters students in counseling and clinical psychology), curriculum vitae (including email address), statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research interests, and evidence of teaching effectiveness if available (e.g., teaching evaluations, observation notes). We request three professional references (rather than letters of recommendation) at the time of application. Of these three references, at least one referee should speak to the candidate's disciplinary expertise, and at least one should have seen the candidate deliver or design classroom instruction. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance to finalist interviews. Applications are being accepted online, with reviews starting September 1, 2026 and continuing until the position is filled.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship in Management Internship
Document your training objectives before applying
Your designated sponsor requires a detailed Training or Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002) before issuing your DS-2019. Draft specific management competencies you intend to develop, including team leadership, budgeting, or operations functions, so host employers can sign off quickly.
Verify host employers have J-1 hosting history
Search Migrate Mate to identify U.S. employers that have previously hosted J-1 interns in management-track roles. Companies unfamiliar with the DS-7002 requirement or USIA regulations often stall offers, so prior hosting experience signals a smoother onboarding process.
Target roles with structured rotational programs
Designated sponsors scrutinize whether the internship genuinely develops management skills across multiple functions. Prioritize positions that rotate through operations, finance, and project coordination rather than single-department placements, which are harder to justify under J-1 Intern program objectives.
Confirm your enrollment or graduation timing fits the Intern category
The J-1 Intern category requires you to be currently enrolled in a degree program or to have graduated within 12 months. If you're past that window, you likely qualify under the Trainee category instead, which carries different program duration limits and sponsor requirements.
Clarify the two-year home residency requirement early
Some J-1 participants are subject to a two-year home-country residency requirement before changing to H-1B visa or certain other statuses. Check whether your country of citizenship or the funding source of your exchange triggers this rule before accepting a host employer's offer.
Align your offer letter with sponsor compliance expectations
Before countersigning any offer, confirm the host employer agrees to pay you no less than the applicable prevailing wage for your role and location. Your designated sponsor will verify compensation against DOL standards when reviewing the DS-7002 during the pre-placement approval stage.
Management Internship J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to management internship roles?
Most management internship placements fall under the J-1 Intern category, which is available to individuals currently enrolled in a foreign degree program or who graduated within the past 12 months. If you have already graduated and have at least one year of relevant work experience, the J-1 Trainee category may apply instead. Each category has different maximum program durations and sponsor eligibility criteria.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa for a management internship?
Your visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as Cultural Vistas, CIEE, or AIPT, not your host employer. The designated sponsor issues your DS-2019, approves your Training or Internship Placement Plan, and monitors your compliance throughout the program. Your host employer provides the management training experience but does not hold sponsoring authority under State Department regulations.
How do I find U.S. employers open to hosting J-1 management interns?
Use Migrate Mate to search for U.S. employers that have demonstrated openness to J-1 exchange visitors in management-related roles. Because host employers must sign a DS-7002 and coordinate with a designated sponsor, targeting companies with prior J-1 hosting experience significantly reduces delays between an offer and your program approval.
What is the DS-7002 and why does it matter for getting placed?
The DS-7002 is the Training or Internship Placement Plan that your host employer and designated sponsor must complete before your DS-2019 is issued. It specifies the management competencies you'll develop, the supervision structure, and how each phase of the internship ties to your educational background. Employers unfamiliar with this form frequently delay or withdraw offers, so confirming their willingness to complete it early is essential.
Can I extend my J-1 management internship or change employers mid-program?
Extensions are possible within the maximum program duration for your category, but they require your designated sponsor's approval and an updated DS-7002 reflecting the new training objectives. Changing host employers mid-program also requires sponsor authorization and cannot be done unilaterally. If the new employer has no prior J-1 hosting relationship, the sponsor will need to vet them before approving the transfer. Migrate Mate can help you identify alternative host employers if your original placement falls through.
