Field Experience

Enrollment in practicum and internship are considered critical experiences for successful completion of the masters programs in Community Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling. Primary goals of both practicum and internship are to develop counseling skills and to promote the development of the student's professional counselor identity in an organization compatible with their program emphasis area. Practicum and Internship activities will take place at departmentally approved sites with appropriately qualified supervisors where the intern can work with clients appropriate for the student's program emphasis.

Application for Practicum & Internship

Applications for practicum and internship must be filed by the appropriate deadline in the semester before the clinical experience will occur. Students will not be permitted to register for either practicum or internship unless an application is on file with all the necessary departmental and faculty approvals. Students are required to consult with their Advisor regarding these applications in order to ensure that all prerequisites have been met prior to participation in these experiences.
