About the Field Experience
Students selecting the Applied Track will complete 6 credit hours of field experience. To complete the field experience, students will need to complete 270 hours:
- work at an agency on a behavioral health issue of importance to the agency or community; and,
- submit a project proposal, carry out their project, and develop a final report summarizing their findings.
The student's Academic Advisor and an agency-based Field Supervisor guide student work.
Field experience projects vary considerably by topic, depending upon the agency's needs and the student's interests. For example, a student might:
- Conduct a needs assessment
- Develop social marketing strategies
- Help develop a strategic plan
- Identify appropriate evidence-based practices
- Support program development and implementation
- Conduct community-based research and evaluation
- And many other possibilities.
