What kind of field experience are students exposed to during the program?

Kent State offers a carefully planned sequence of experiential learning opportunities for their students. Each year, the level of field work increases in hands-on opportunities. The first year, students are enrolled in Practicum I, which requires a minimum of 25 hours of exposure to different schools each semester. The second year, students are enrolled in Practicum II, which requires a minimum of 70 hours of exposure (1 day a week) with a supervising school psychologist each semester. Students are usually assigned a practicum site each semester by a faculty member, so students are given two different school experiences. The third year, students are placed at a school as a full time intern. This means students work regular hours for the duration of the school year gaining experience under the supervision of a school psychologist.
