CESP 890 Capstone Seminar: Franciscan Integration in Counseling, Education and Supervision

3 Credits

In a student-centered seminar, those who have completed pre-requisite courses will demonstrate an integration of the three major areas of emphasis in the program with the major Franciscan virtues and traditions. Students will do this by applying evidence-based knowledge of preventive, therapeutic and rehabilitative interventions to individuals, families and/or population groups. They will present this against a framework of spiritual and clinical insights that support the interventions. Completion of this course satisfies a comprehensive exam to advance to dissertation candidacy.
