A two-semester practicum at the doctoral level (EPSY 8393) consists of 500 on-site hours (approximately 16 hours per week for 15 weeks per semester). Each semester counts for three credit hours of coursework.

Practicum is a training experience. No more than 12 hours per week (approximately 75% of the student's time) may be spent in direct service. The total on-site hours should include a variety of activities such as case conferences, staffing meetings, in-service training, and workshops.

Each student must document 1 hour of individual supervision per week by a licensed psychologist. Staff meetings, observations, case conferences, etc. are considered training and are not part of the supervision hour requirement.

Students are strongly encouraged to take additional practica beyond the required 6 or 12 credit hours. See page 8 of the handbook for further details.
