Fieldwork requirements (21 credits)

Students must attend a clinical seminar each semester they are involved in field experience and
must attend a minimum of two total seminars.
 CNMH 570 - Advanced Applied Counseling: Mental Health Counselor

 CNMH 571 - Internship: Mental Health Counselor (total of 450 hours, 9 credits)
 CNMH 582 - Internship: Mental Health Counselor - Dual License (total of 450 hours, 9

Capstone Experience
Students will complete the culminating experience with the successful completion of one of the
following options:
 CNGC 585 - Capstone in Counseling – Portfolio
  CNGC 586 - Capstone in Counseling – Project Paper
 Counselor Preparation Comprehensive Examination (CPCE)

Taking two classes at a time it looks like it will take me 4 years to complete the classwork, although
maybe I can expedite that by taking summer classes. Then I will need to field work, 450 hrs at a
mental health facility and 450 hours in a school setting. So it looks like I might be taking the CPCE
in 2029, that sounds pretty far off though, I’m not sure I’m figuring this out correctly. I haven’t any
ideas for potential places of advanced applied and practicum sites, but I do hope to stay local to
the Taunton area.
