We work hard in the placement process to find you a practicum that is the best fit.
A lot of supports are provided for you while in your practicum. If you have challenges, reach out to your practicum liaison and communicate when challenges arise.
Most challenges can be remedied, but there are rare situations where we may change a placement at semester if isn’t the best fit.
Additionally, there are situations where students do fail practicum and lose hours, but this is a last resort.
We want everyone to have a practicum experience that is the best for them and the clients they desire to serve!

BLS pay estimates calculate the median annual wage for various occupations. Per the BLS the median wage for an occupation is: "The wage at which half of the workers in the occupation earned more than that amount, and half earned less. Median wage data are from the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey." Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook 2024. BLS median wage estimates do not represent entry-level wages and/or salaries. Multiple factors, including prior experience, age, geographic market in which you want to work, and degree level and field, will affect career outcomes, including starting salary and earnings as an experienced employee. Herzing neither represents that its graduates will earn the median salaries calculated by BLS for a particular job nor guarantees that graduation from its program will result in a job, promotion, particular wage or salary, or other career growth.
