Practicum Placement - Selected Examples

Students apply to practicum following consultation with the advisor and the program’s Off-Site Practicum Coordinator. Students do not contact sites before the program’s placement process. Please note, students may need to satisfy certain eligibility requirements (e.g., background check, drug screening) for some site placements. The placements change regularly as the program adds new sites and other sites become unavailable, and some sites accept only advanced students. To be prepared for internship, many students complete two different off-site practicum placements, over two academic years.
