SOC-OFE Doctoral Students - Field Experience Manual:
Field Site Requirements

Field Site Requirements

Your field sites will need to offer experiences that meet the requirements of your program, as described in Section 3. Internship site requirements will vary by domain.

Counseling sites must

  • Have a current affiliation agreement with Walden that specifically includes your program. If an agreement is not already on file, the SOC-OFE will work with your chosen field site to establish one after you submit your application (see Affiliation Agreements);
  • Offer adequate space for students to see clients (see TMH and in-home policies);
  • Have clients to assign to students (students should not solicit their own clients); and
  • Allow students to record sessions (see Recording and Alternative Assignment Policy).
