COA 395 is typically taken as 1-2 credits each semester (students are not allowed to take more than 2 credits at once). Hours are only counted during the semester; hours between semesters (hours during winter break) are not permitted.

• 1 credit = 45 practicum hours / semester
• 2 credits = 90 practicum hours / semester

Students are strongly encouraged to find their own locations/mentor prior to registering for the course, but this is not required and guidance is available if needed.You may obtain hours at more than one facility. Start looking at locations early!

Course Deliverables

COA 395 is a Pass/Fail course.

• Complete student packet with mentor signatures
• Complete weekly log sheets to keep track of hours, tasks, professional growth, knowledge growth, challenges, etc.
• Final Reflection (upon completion of hours)
• Mentor Evaluation (to be completed and submitted by your mentor at the end of the semester)

Medical professions (those interested in physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, dentistry, athletic training, etc.) should apply to HMED 440 (not COA 395) for internship placement! The HMED 440 course requires an application and you DO NOT set up your own sites. Please reach out to your advisor if you have questions about your area of interest.
