The student is required to spend a minimum of 100 clock hours at a selected school providing services to students, under supervision of a permanently or professionally certified school counselor. During this time, the student is expected to increase competence in the areas of basic interviewing, assessment, and counseling skills. Furthermore, the student is made more aware of the ethical, legal, and professional issues inherent in the counseling process. The student is provided practical, on-the-job, supervised and evaluated experiences that provide the foundation for internship experiences. A weekly seminar class accompanies the fieldwork experience.
