MCC 8003 Internship (600 hours)
Internship is the culminating experience of the counseling program. It is expected that the student will assume more professional responsibility during the internship than during the practicum, i. e. all of the responsibilities of a regular staff member. The internship is tutorial in nature, as the student counselor is given the opportunity to learn under the direct supervision of a qualified supervisor in the selected field setting. Training may involve two or more supervisors. Six hundred (600) total clock hours are required for the practicum internship experience with a minimum accumulation of 240 clock hours in direct client contact. Students will attend Group Supervision Seminar facilitated by a faculty supervisor. Group Supervision Seminar hours count toward the required 600 total clock hours. Internship is graded as Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U).
