Internship (3 credits)

Masters students are required to complete an internship experience. Through the internship, students gain practical, career related experience by working in an administrative or program setting, (i.e., event planning, working with undergraduate students). The internship is usually taken after the student has been in the program for a year and can be repeated for up to six credits. It is designed to broaden and enhance an individual student's professional skill set. Students meet with the master's internship coordinator to select an appropriate experience and identify the campus setting for the internship. See Current Student Resources for greater detail.
