HSV 594 - Clinical Field Practicum II

Students will apply the knowledge, skills, and dispositions acquired during prerequisite courses. This course has a required synchronous component that meets weekly for (2) hours. Students enrolled in the Professional Counseling Certificate are not eligible for enrollment into the field placement courses.
