Students will also research one other body-mind modality of their own choice. The choices for the required electives are offered Fall and Winter semesters. Formerly, students in the Holistic Therapies program were not required to take the Practicum and the students in the Health and Wellness Counseling program were not required to take the Integrative Seminar. Now both of those courses will be required in the Holistic Health Studies program. The practicum will be a 70-hour individually arranged experience in a community facility.
Students participate in three classroom seminars throughout the practicum experience.
The practicum experience offers students the creative opportunity to apply and integrate skills and knowledge gained in the program. The practicum might include work with individual clients, a project at the instructional level or wellness teaching opportunities. The program has exciting practicum sites available or students can bring their suggestions for sites. An additional focus of this course will allow students to design a plan integrating this program as well as prior work experience in a career plan. This course addresses health and wellness issues for individuals who have special needs.
