The purpose of the Office of School-University Partnerships and Clinical Experiences is to establish and maintain positive working relationships between P-12 schools in the Columbia area and programs at USC which prepare future professional educators. The office assists programs in placing practicum and internship students in the schools and provides information and assistance to both the schools and USC program faculty to ensure the success of the practicum and internship experiences. Beyond the practica and internships, the office also serves as the communication link in furthering broader collaboration between the university and its Partnership and Professional Development School sites.
