Courses
Courses for this program are 100% online: no campus visits are required. Courses are asynchronous, meaning they do not have regular meetings but students progress through the course with specifically timed content delivery and instruction. They may consist of various media and content — including online discussions, videos, quizzes and instructor engagement. Courses are not self-paced and students must make continual progress throughout the semester.
Practicum
A 400-hour practicum is required to be completed in the last semester of your program in a service-oriented work position. You’ll have the option of an employment-based practicum or placement in an agency setting reflective of your interests. You’ll work with an advisor to plan for practicum completion.
