Students will complete two semesters of practicum in their second year of the program (for those enrolled full-time). The Counselor Education program is located in a large university in a large city that has many mental health programs. Therefore, there are rich opportunities for practicum placements. School counseling students may complete their practicum at any AISD school as well as other local school districts. Students in the higher education concentration are commonly placed at the University of Texas' Center for Strategic Advising & Career Counseling, Texas State Career Services, Austin Community College, among several university positions. While at least one semester of practicum is required in an educational setting, some students choose to do their second practicum in a community setting.
