Field experienceTo provide you with a successful skill set, we make it a priority to offer experiential learning or field experiences. The I/DD program consists of a two-tier field experience model:
- TIER 1: The sophomore field experience is completed in a community setting serving individuals with I/DD. This experience may be a volunteer or paid experience.
- TIER 2: The senior externship or final field experience is developed by University faculty in consultation with the student based on his or her career aspirations.
