Description

HUS 241 Human Services Practicum I
4 Credits (1 Lecture 0 Lab 3 Clinical)
10 Hrs/Wk (1 Hr. Lecture 9 Hrs. Clinical) *15 wks
The goal of the course is to integrate course theory learned throughout the curriculum with practical, beginning clinical work and community service networking, by providing prospective human services workers with an opportunity to learn experientially at a human services agency in the community. The focus is for the student to learn how an agency functions and experience being a part of that agency. A weekly one hour seminar will assist the student to process and integrate knowledge gained in the foundation courses with the experiential learning gained at the field site. It will serve as a forum for sharing field experi ences and provides students with a peer support group. The focus will be on developing the skills necessary for human services practice, i.e., observation, human relations, interviewing, self-awareness, and leadership. Prerequisites: Students s
