Are there opportunities for clinical experiences, such as practicum and internships?
Yes. Both practicum and internships are required for all counseling concentrations. Practicum will take place towards the end of a student’s course work and will involve group supervision during course time and also one hour per week of individual supervision. In addition, each student will see 3 to 5 clients per week to conduct counseling sessions. The course load for practicum is considered to equate to 2 regular courses. In terms of internships, students should begin researching with their advisor what site they would like to work at 6 to 9 months prior to beginning this portion of the program.
