Purpose and Goals of Internship

Students are required to be involved in professional practice related to their career goals sometime during their course of study in higher education leadership. The internship is a 3-credit practical experience intended to provide meaningful, career-related work experience that extends student learning beyond the classroom. Internships are also intended to provide an environment in which students reflect upon their contemporary experiences and consider the implications for their field of practice as well as their own professional development and careers.
