Practicum Site

A unique element of the AYCD program is that every graduate student fulfills a practicum requirement at a host community-based organization (CBO) throughout his or her participation in the Masters program.

The CBOs that have been selected as practicum hosts are situated in a variety of communities throughout Chicago, serving low-income, underrepresented, and immigrant youth populations with multidisciplinary arts programs in writing, performance, music, visual art, public art, and digital technology.
