This information is provided to the faculty supervisor who provides group supervision in a weekly, two-hour seminar. A Practicum and Internship Manual is used to outline students and supervisor responsibilities. Field supervisors are also provided with training sessions or workshops that are designed to enhance their skills in supervision. These workshops are sponsored by the Counselor Education Program. The retention and review process is designed to evaluate student progress.
Faculty meet each quarter to review all students who are enrolled in counselor education programs.
Each student is evaluated on academic performance, classroom behavior, interaction with peers and faculty, response to supervision, and overall progress. Interventions with students who are experiencing problems may involve some type of remedial action initiated with their faculty advisor or a full-faculty review of the situation if necessary. The University Office of Institutional Research conducts a yearly survey of program graduates. Graduates are asked to rate the quality of instruction, program curricula, degree of preparation for employments and other aspects of their educational experience. This information is shared with members of the faculty and the Department Chair.
