"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead |
Practicum Description
In addition to field experiences tied to specific courses, all students in the master's program complete a one-year practicum that combines approximately 12 hours per week of supervised field experience during the fall and spring semesters with an on-campus seminar.Students can choose from a broad range of community sites with which the program maintains close relationships; it is also possible for students to propose new sites. Employed students may ask for their workplace to be considered as their practicum site, but only to the extent that there is an opportunity for new learning experiences and that the time spent on practicum does not involve paid hours.
