Practicum Experiences
The 100-hour practicum experience provides students with the opportunity to gain real world experience in an area they are interested in. In addition to the experience being gained, they have the opportunity to work closely with professionals within the higher education setting. The practicum must be separate from what students are currently doing for their work. Students not currently working in higher education as a Graduate Assistant or employee will complete two practicum experiences.
