| Summary |
All students in graduate counseling programs must complete a practicum and internship, which include direct service with actual clients in a professional setting. Most counseling students are required to log between 700-1,000 hours of practicum/internship experience in order to graduate. During this period, students are evaluated by both the on-site supervisor and their faculty advisor. The Counseling Practicum and Internship Manual: A Resource for Graduate Counseling Programs is specifically designed for students in practicum and internship settings who are studying to become counselors.
