Course Description
This is a practice-based course in which students will apply the concepts learned throughout the degree program by participating in an internship. The primary course objective is to serve as a means of practicing skills and applying theoretical learning in a clinical position. When applicable the course is customized to meet the requirements of the certification board in the student’s state. Attention is also given to personal and professional growth in preparation for serving in a counseling role.
Site Requirements
It is the responsibility of the student to secure a site through which they may complete the required practicum internship hours and a clinical supervisor that meets the requirements in their state to provide clinical supervision. Learn more about certification requirements in the various states.

Students may not do a practicum in an organization where they would be conducting research on human subjects.
