Practicum

Making a difference in your field requires more than theoretical knowledge. That’s why a number of Walden programs feature a practicum, which provides an introduction to the practice of your profession.

Completing a practicum gives you clearly defined, real-world field experience in your area of interest, under the supervision of Walden faculty and an on-site supervisor.

The exact components of your practicum will vary depending on your particular program, but each practicum experience is designed to provide you with

  • The opportunity to apply and integrate the knowledge acquired throughout your program
  • A real-world experience of direct practice
  • Mentoring from faculty and experts in your field 
  • The chance to make a difference in your preferred arena
  • Proficiency with necessary skills for professional practice
