This individualized approach allows students on the job experience under the supervision of qualified departmental faculty. Examples of field work experience are involvement in research projects, designing evaluation procedures, counseling in a non clinical setting, working with various student personnel officers in higher education, developing assessment instruments for private industry, and interview and data analyses for research firms. The number of field work assignments and the placement will vary with students' interests and professional goals. All core courses are scheduled on a Tuesday Thursday daytime basis, thus allowing students to arrange a two day a week schedule on campus. This has permitted students to maintain a part time job while pursuing the degree.
Many electives are available at late afternoon or evening times.
