During the second year, students are required to complete and turn in a portfolio of work completed for the program and
practicum. Students are also required to work continuously on the field experience element of the program. This requires
students to fulfill 120 hours of field-based observation to be completed by the middle of the spring semester of this year.
During the second year of coursework, students will fill out a performance-based self-evaluation to be compared to one that is
completed by the program faculty that assesses internship readiness.
Notes:
1. SPSY courses are offered only in the semester shown; other courses may be offered at other times as well.
2. Specific aspects of Field Experience must be completed prior to the beginning of Practicum II
3. Students may not enroll in Year 2 Coursework prior to completion of Year 1 coursework unless the student’s
advisor and the course instructor have agreed to an exception. The student understand the ramifications of the
early enrollment, including an increased need for self-study in prerequisite areas.
4. Students are responsible for completing the approved course of study that is in effect at the time of the approved
prospectus is filed
5. Ed.S. graduation is typically the summer at the end of the internship experience
*Depending on background and experience, additional coursework may be required in years 1 & 2
