Field Experience Menu: Both programs require that the student complete approximately 450 hours of field experience. It is in the student's best interest to begin these experiences at the beginning of his/her course of study. The requirement is explained in detail in EDAS 551 (Foundations). The menu available here lists examples of appropriate experiences. NOTE: the student is NOT expected to complete all of these experiences, but rather a total of 450 hours, distributed across the six ISLLC Standards.
