Capstone Course -- Practicum in Counseling (CSP 885) is required in all programs prior to the internship, near the completion of the program. Each student must demonstrate effective counseling skills with clients before registering for the internship (CSP 892 or CSP 992). Students submit a videotape sample for review by faculty not teaching the class. In addition, CSP 922, Problem Solving Assessment Practicum is required of all school psychology students. Students demonstrate the required assessment skills/processes and are assessed by the faculty.

SCLO: 2, 3, 5, 6
CCLO: 1, 4, 5
SPLO: 2
