COU 620 : Advanced Internship

Provides an advanced internship experience resulting in one credit for each of 100 hours of internship activity with a supervision seminar focusing on the integration of theory and advanced practice. This weekly supervision seminar supplements the supervision students are receiving at their internship sites. The seminar is conducted using a clinical staffing format in which students present cases, and discuss therapeutic, diagnostic, ethical, faith integration, and treatment-planning issues encountered at their internship site. Didactic instruction occurs on an as-needed basis relevant to the issues presented by students. The seminar instructor maintains contact with the interns' site supervisor throughout the year. This advanced course exceeds the normal practicum and internship hours required by CACREP and is required for counseling licensure by online students in Indiana. Only students required to take Advanced Internship should enroll in this course.
