What is fieldwork and how do I get placed?
The primary objective of fieldwork is to enable students to apprentice in the role of a practicing counselor. Counselor interns become part of a professionally approved counseling site in which they can observe successful practices, participate in all aspects of the Program and apply classroom learning to actual clinical, school, and organizational situations. Interns are expected to function as part-time employees of their chosen fieldwork site during the academic year. Students will receive an orientation regarding Fieldwork placement in the year prior to attending, and will work with the Fieldwork Coordinator to identify potential sites at which they may be placed.
