The undergraduate internship allows students the opportunity to use the knowledge, skills, and dispositions learned in the classroom in an applied environment of their choosing. The consent of internship supervisor is necessary and the internship can be completed within two quarters of graduation. The internship requires 180 clock hours in practical experiences in approved programs with department approved supervisor. The purpose of this course is to provide the undergraduate student with practical experience in relating theory to practice in a setting under close supervision from professionals and the University. The primary value of this experience for the student lies in the opportunity for self-evaluation and acceptance of abilities and shortcomings before entering into the professional world. Class requirements include meeting with the university instructor of record and university supervisor, completion of a minimum of 18 hours weekly (180 hours minimum) of on-the-job experiences at the internship site, completion of weekly reports (all weekly reports must be typed), completion of an initial and final report of the internship, and exit interview with the student, university supervisor, and instructor of record. This exit meeting will be scheduled by the instructor of record with the student.
