Fieldwork

We offer individualized fieldwork placements with outstanding supervisors, many leading to employment. You’ll spend more than 500 hours in the field, gaining experience and honing your skills. We have excellent partnerships with local schools, allowing our faculty members to collaborate with those counselors to refine course content and providing a wide variety of options for your fieldwork.
