Students apply critical counseling skills learned in previous coursework in a mental health setting with clients. Under the supervision of the course instructor and the onsite supervisor, students work to develop competencies as a professional mental health counselor. Students must complete 100 hours of practical experience (minimum of 40 direct contact hours) and participate in weekly supervision with a licensed mental health professional. Students must have a field site prior to starting the course and all field sites must have departmental approval.
