Practicum

Catalog description

This practicum experience provides 100 hours of supervised practice in a counseling setting similar to the setting in which the student may be placed in internships. The practicum includes class meetings for group supervision and discussions and is designed to provide opportunities for students to work with diverse clients and client situations, affording students a structured and supportive environment in which to apply counseling theories, techniques and skills learned in previous course work. Focusing on the school environment (K-12), students also develop skills in observations, feedback, case preparation, interview analysis and reporting as well as become aware of a variety of professional resources and community referral agencies.
