A capstone project is required.
Capstone Project: The ADDS 5996 Internship Seminar serves as a capstone experience where students apply the knowledge and skills learned in their previous courses in a real world clinical setting. Students receive close clinical supervision from both a site and faculty supervisors, participate in formal on-campus clinical supervision meetings, and actively engage in weekly required postings and practice assignments. Upon completion of the internship experience, each student undergoes an extensive formal written and oral evaluation process to ensure ethical and competent clinical practice.
This program may not be completed with a minor.
Use of 4xxx courses toward program requirements is permitted under certain conditions with adviser approval.
A minimum GPA of 2.80
is required for students to remain in good standing.

Students may take one or more courses per term and have up to five years to complete a master's degree. Students who wish to transfer graduate-level coursework from other institutions should contact the Graduate Programs office at cceinfo@umn.edu for information and assistance.
