Experience

Office of Field Experience

If your degree program requires a field practicum in order to graduate, the Office of Field Experience (OFE) field experience specialists (FES) support you in setting up your clinical/practicum experience so that it meets our academic and professional standards.

The College of Nursing and Health Care Professions' OFE and your FES determine if you have met all of the placement requirements necessary to participate in field experience courses.
