Individualized Program
Practica
Students must complete eight credits of practicum (typically two 300 hour practica between their third and fifth semesters). Practica are opportunities for students to apply concepts and skills they have learned in the classroom. Depending on students’ career goals, practica can be done any where in the world.
Students in the Individualized Program choose practica that meet their individual program plans. The following is a sampling of some IP related practica organized by the title of each student’s Individualized Program name:
