During this Fall semester senior experience the student will be in the agency for at least 75 hours along with a one hour weekly classroom seminar. The student will have the opportunity to be fully oriented to the agency’s services in preparation for more concentrated hours in the second practicum during spring semester. The agency will also provide the setting for the senior student to implement course projects for two required practice courses and the research course. 3 Credit(s). 75 Service Hour(s).
