Spring 2014 Practica Application and Information Sessions
Dear SIS graduate students,
We are pleased to announce the Spring 2014 Practica. While all practica are open to students
from all programs, this is a competitive process, with skills and coursework taken into
consideration in student selection. Please note that due to the nature of the program (real world
clients with real world challenges), courses are subject to change focus due to needs of the
partner organization. For more information on the practica program and eligibility requirements,
please see the SIS Practica website.
Practicum applications are due October 9th. No extensions will be granted, so please plan
accordingly. At the same time, no preference is given to applications submitted early, so please
take your time completing the application, found here.
We are offering the following general and course-specific information sessions. Please email
Stephanie Fischer, Director of Experiential Learning, at sis_practica@american.edu if you have
any questions.
