Professional & Applied Experience Requirements
There is not a required practicum for the Collaborative Practice minor in the graduate program. Schedule a meeting with the graduate coordinator to discuss opportunities.

Solving the complex public policy problems we face today has come to exceed the capacity of any one sector – private, public or civic. Increasingly, people are working across sectors, jurisdictions, and diverse interests to make decisions and take actions together. Collaborative problem solving, consensus building, and multi-stakeholder dispute resolution were once considered interesting alternatives and last resorts when conventional approaches failed. Now, they are becoming standard management practices and are being integrated into the way we govern ourselves and our scarce resources, public services, and human capital. Collaboration is becoming the 21st century’s governance tool of choice and necessity.
