STUDENT AFFAIRS LEADERSHIP AND PRACTICE
CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Student Affairs ConferenceThe Student Affairs Leadership and Practice program is a 48-hour program consisting of coursework in Counseling (18 semester hours), Student Affairs (12 semester hours), Leadership (9 semester hours), and electives (3 semester hours). The experiential component of the program provides the student with a 6 semester hour/600 clock hour practical learning experience in a professional setting.

Please note that not all Student Affairs/Leadership courses are offered every semester. Students are responsible for carefully planning their programs of study in order to meet all prerequisite course and graduation requirements.

Here are some tips to facilitate your course planning:

Students must take Couns 7026 and 7023 within the first 3 semesters in which a student enrolls.
The preferred sequence for taking counseling courses is: Couns 6962, 6900, 6973.
Internship is the student’s capstone experience and should be taken during the last semester (or two, if splitting into two semesters). Applications are due the first week of the semester prior to the Internship. Training Agreements are due prior to beginning the Internship. For further information about Internship, please refer to the Student Affairs Leadership and Practice Internship Handbook.
Comprehensive examinations are taken during the last semester the student is enrolled in Internship. For further information on Student Affairs Leadership and Practice Comprehensive Exams, please refer to the Student Affairs Leadership and Practice Comprehensive Exams Guidelines.
Schedule a meeting with your academic advisor after the first semester to complete the curriculum Plan of Study.
