The focus of this course is on experiential learning, which is an essential component of applied professional training. In the practicum, students have the opportunity to engage in a supervised experience that integrates theory and research with practice. The practicum experience includes guided development of professional skills; awareness of professional and ethical issues; professional and interpersonal growth; development of cultural competence; and effective use of supervision. In addition to on-site supervision, students are required to participate in an online classroom experience.
