In this course students undertake an unpaid apprenticeship in a human services setting. This practicum field placement is complemented by regular seminar meetings to support and assess student learning. The practicum field placement requires 15 hours per week for eight months (fall and winter terms). Through the practicum experience students learn to integrate and apply their undergraduate Sexualities, Relationships, and Families education and bridge theory, research, and praxis.
