Field-Based Learning Resources

Field-Based Experiential Learning (FBEL) offers you an opportunity to apply theory to practice in real-world workplace or clinical settings.  You move out of the ‘classroom’ to guided learning through direct experience in your field of study. This type of learning requires advance planning.  Your supports include advisor and faculty guidance for finding a Host Partner site, building a learning plan, and problem-solving throughout your field experience. Plan up to 1 term ahead for practicum or internship – up to 2 terms ahead for a Field-Based Integrative Capstone. Approval by Academic Affairs is required based on student’s Academic plan and history. Click here to learn more!
