Students should be advised that a substantial amount of time is spent in fieldwork to meet practicum and internship requirements. Although most of the courses are offered online, the fieldwork experiences are in person and most commonly completed 在 daytime hours. Program completion is not typically compatible with full time employment.

Eligibility for enrollment in Practicum (601年国家/602) and Internship (COUN 640) requires admission to the 咨询 Program and completion of all prerequisites. 由于空间有限, students must apply to reserve enrollment for both practicum and internship prior to enrolling in each of these courses. Students cannot register themselves for practicum or internship and may not enroll in more than 4 semester hours of internship credit each semester without prior approval. Students must reserve enrollment by emailing the instructor 6-months prior to the beginning of the semester for which they intend to enroll. These Practicum and Internship Reservation Forms are due a minimum of 2-months prior to the beginning of the semester.
