Clinical Courses

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences clinical experiences consist of two observation placements, one at the middle school level and one at the high school level, and a series of on-campus seminar meetings.  Students interested in taking a clinical must apply the semester in advance.  Applications for the upcoming semester are made available on September 1st and February 1st each year.  Students may not request specific school placements and may not arrange their own placements.  Students planning on taking a clinical should plan to have access to transportation for that semester.  The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences does not provide transportation to clinical placement schools.
