Description
This mandatory course provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate professional dispositions, interpersonal skills, and counseling
competencies through direct, face-to-face engagement with faculty, university staff, and peers. Conducted as an on-campus, in-person intensive,
the seminar allows faculty to observe and assess students’ ability to apply core counseling skills, display professional behaviors, and integrate
ethical and reflective practice. Regardless of whether students typically receive instruction through the LiveFlex or in-person format, all must
participate in this course in the same physical location as program faculty and staff facilitating the learning experience. This is the first course in a two-course required seminar sequence. Students must complete COUN 5xb prior to enrollment in COUN 580 – Clinical Mental Health Counseling Practicum II and/or COUN 585 – School Counseling Practicum II. The course is graded Pass/Fail, and successful completion is required for program progression and graduation. A failing grade may result in dismissal from the program.
