As a Licensed therapist, I can honestly say that my practicum experience was more helpful to me than all the coursework in the world!! An online program would help you with theory, but the human interaction is more important than any theory or textbook....

There's nothing like actual fieldwork and experience, as well as intensive supervision that helps me with the most difficult problems I am faced with daily in my work with clients. No course can actually prepare anyone for this. It is scary to think that with the advance in technology and courses being offered online that this could be the wave of the future in our field. I think that universities are doing a poor job in preparing new grads for the realities of the field. It totally shows too that universities are just trying to make a buck whatever way they can, and by offering online courses this is certainly a way to make a buck.
