PAH493 - Internship
Course Description
The internship consists of training and practice in an employment sector related to the students' desired career goals.
The contributions by the student intern to the partner agency are meant to be meaningful and substantive. Each 3-unit internship experience is individually designed to maximize student specific learning during the 120 contact hours. Internship activities can include completing projects or delivering services that require collaboration, research, analysis, summarizing data, writing, presenting work visually and orally, investigating, planning, organizing, problem solving, critical thinking, innovating, influencing, persuading, decision making, and networking.
The academic side of the internship course is designed to help students maximize the undergraduate internship experience. Students develop and build effective negotiation and communication skills, reflect on and analyze their current skill set, and situate their internship experience within a broader academic and professional context. To this end, assignments are practical and relevant to the course purpose, as students engage in thoughtful reflection and career planning.
