COURSE REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS

Relationship to the Curriculum

Opting to participate in Guatemala 2010 will partially fulfill the requirements of HOCS 405 Occupational Justice II for occupational therapy majors. HOCS 405 is the second in a two-part series of courses entitled Occupational Justice I and Occupational Justice II. Both courses are required in partial fulfillment of the concentration in Human Occupation Studies which is a pre-requisite to the Master of Occupational Therapy Program.

In HOCS 405 Occupational Justice II students are required to complete a service learning project and log 30 hours in the field – 20 direct contact hours and 10 nondirect hours. Students going to Guatemala will conduct their 20 hours of direct contact in Guatemala and their 10 hours of nondirect contact prior to, during, and after the trip experience.

For Guatemala 2010 student participants, HOCS 405 Occupational Justice II has a co-requisite of SPAN 258 Language & Culture in Guatemala. The Spanish course will be offered during Summer Intercession 2010 (May 10-21, 2010).
