HSS 382 PRACTICUM AWAY: THEORY AND PRACTICE OF HUMAN SERVICE STUDIES

This course introduces students to the biopsychosocial model of understanding human systems in a cross-cultural environment. Three weeks of direct practice and observation in a human services organization in an international or domestic setting away from campus allows students to apply and conceptualize various aspects of human service delivery, particularly cross-cultural practice, using this approach. Student learning will be guided and enhanced through course readings, weekly seminars, written assignments and faculty site visits.
