COUN 2760 - CLINICAL COUNSELING CAPSTONE


Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 3
The clinical counseling capstone courses serve as the comprehensive examination. The courses focus on student demonstration of knowledge and skills that reflect the competencies of the clinical rehabilitation and mental health counselor as defined by this program. Students will be assessed on their knowledge and skills accumulated through coursework and clinical experiences. The courses require students to synthesize and apply advanced concepts into clinical practice. The courses implement a case study approach. Students are providing real and/or simulated clients to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Students are expected to analyze and synthesize case materials for case conceptualization and then develop appropriate and realistic intervention plans. Students are expected to apply appropriate counseling techniques included in their intervention plan via role-play simulations. The courses are delivered over two terms with the first course (Clinical Counseling Capstone) focusing on preparation and practice. If students do not demonstrate readiness for competency evaluation, remediation will be prescribed and deficiencies resolved prior to proceeding. The second course will serve as their competency evaluation (Clinical Counseling Capstone Exam). Successful completion of this comprehensive examination is needed for the student to demonstrate mastery of graduate study in clinical rehabilitation and mental health counseling.
