The degree program consists of 120 credit hours of study and emphasizes not only knowledge of the discipline but also its application.
Fieldwork is an important part of the degree.
Students can expect to learn by association with practising professionals and, in addition, will be expected to contribute and to learn as volunteers in community service. The fieldwork experience is a supervised educational work experience within a selected agency. It is a bridge for the student between the academic present and the professional future. Fieldwork is a three-way partnership between the University, the student, and the fieldwork agency. All parties in the relationship assume definite responsibilities, perform specific functions, and gain benefits as a result of their involvement in the fieldwork experience.
