The Ph.D. Program offers a number of opportunities for practical application of theory during the doctoral course of studies. Some of these opportunities are built in as course requirements, such as an Internship or a Practicum. One can check the Graduate Catalogue for a description of these application courses. In addition to the required and elected courses listed in the Degree Plan, there are other experiences offered by Faculty that allow students to develop skills, capacities and a further application of theoretical learning. There are also opportunities for giving service in the broader community both locally and globally.
