Internship A - School Coun:

This course offers the student an opportunity to explore the most important concepts and techniques of guidance, with emphasis on the function and responsibilities of the school counselor. Internship requires a total of 600 hours (300 direct service hours, 300 administrative hours) to be distributed between Internships A and B. Ideally, there would be an equal distribution for each term. However, given the environment and site needs, the requirement for Internship A should be a “reasonable” amount of hours to be able to meet course and program requirements to proceed to Internship B, at which time the remainder of the 600 hours will be completed. In Internship A, students will spend approximately 300 hours (150 direct service hours, 150 administrative hours) in both an elementary and a secondary school setting where they will counsel under supervision of a licensed school counselor. Prerequisite: PSY 646S, PRAXIS II Exam-Content (School Counseling and Guidance)
