Pupil Personnel Services Credential for School Counseling
Field Placement
Phillips Graduate University students in the PPS-only program receive assistance with their field placement through the School Counseling Department; however, the department encourages students to take an active role in finding the school that is best suited to their training and geographic needs. Phillips Graduate University must approve each school site and develop an affiliation agreement with the school in order for students to complete field experience hours at that site.
Students begin the Practicum/field experience process in the second semester after completing 14 units of course work to meet the state accreditation requirements. This process requires 100 hours of experience (SC 505A-Lab) observing a school counselor in a school setting (after completion of SC 505A held on first five Tuesday nights of the semester) and participation in a Field Placement Practicum class throughout the entire field placement experience. Upon completion of the Practicum experience, students may begin accruing the additional 600 hours of field experience.
