Students must have successfully completed all Counseling Primary and Counseling Core Requirement courses prior to Practicum (with the exception of Group Counseling and Diagnosis, which may be taken simultaneously with Practicum). The counseling primary and core counseling courses are listed in the counseling program graduate curriculum. Students should have completed 36 hours of coursework prior to beginning their Practicum. However, as Practicum and Internship are intended to be the culminating experiences, students are expected to enroll in the Practicum and Internship course work in their final three (or five for those enrolling in half-internship) semesters of course work. Students may only enroll in one other academic class while enrolled in Internship. Students need permission from their advisor, in order to complete two academic classes while enrolled in Internship. Student must submit a Practicum Application before beginning Practicum. Students’ eligibility to enroll in Practicum will be based on a review of their Practicum Application by the departmental faculty. Students must finalize a Practicum/Internship site and inform the Practicum/Internship Coordinator by the last day of finals during the previous semester or they will not be allowed to begin Practicum/Internship.
