Concentrated Practicum

The concentrated practicum allows you to apply your studies in a professional setting that aligns best with your goals.

You will work with the course instructor and practicum site to determine the details of the 75-hour commitment. The work activities are structured based on your interest and decided learning outcomes, with appropriate evaluation mechanisms determined by the site facilitator and the course instructor.
