HMSV5990 is where the MS in Human Services program stops being coursework and becomes practice — a supervised internship that asks students to apply everything from HMSV5002's theoretical foundations through HMSV5390's interpersonal skills in a real field placement, graded Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory rather than by letter grade.

Frequently asked questions
Internship performance is evaluated primarily through a field supervisor's assessment of professional conduct, applied skill, and growth over the placement — qualities that don't map cleanly onto a traditional letter-grade rubric built around exams and papers. S/NS grading reflects what the course is actually verifying: that the student met the professional standards of supervised practice, integrated their coursework appropriately into real client and organizational work, and is ready to move on to the capstone (HMSV5993). This is consistent with how many field-based internships are graded across graduate programs, since the goal is professional readiness, not comparative academic ranking.
