Local placements are available for both Conflict Resolution Studies and International Development Studies majors. A local practicum can be completed on a part-time basis over one or two academic semesters. Students must volunteer with an organization for approximately 80 hours.
In addition to written requirements for all practicum placements, local practicums require participation in four practicum seminars.

Practicum Reflections

"The lessons I learned from Bolga have helped me grow in so many ways. I was nervous about a lot of things on my flight, especially that I would be so far from family and friends. But by the end of my trip, I had built so many strong connections with the community that it felt like I had my family and friends with me."
"By completing an international practicum I can say with certainty that I have a better understanding of what 'good development' and 'bad development' looks like. Perhaps, the most significant realization that I have had is how important it is to understand the needs of the community and include community voices in the decision-making processes."
"This practicum has been an incredible experience and something I will absolutely never forget. It is by far the best life experience I have ever received and I am so grateful to have had this opportunity. I am sad to leave but I am also excited for the adventures when I get back."
"Before practicum, I knew what mediation was, but wouldn't have known how to do it. Now, after practicum, it comes as second nature."
Lacie Munholland (CRS, 4 year)
"A practicum is an intense and powerful event for an individual, and through my observation I can say that it can most certainly guide or transform one's direction in life. My own practicum experience in the Eastern Region of Ghana this past May through to August has since guided me both professionally and personally. "
