Overview of class

Internships allow you to connect classroom learning to real-world implications in professional practice. Work opportunities can be labeled as Internships or Graduate Assistantships, depending on the office, but no matter what they are called, internships should give you an opportunity to gain practical experience, set goals for your professional development, reflect on your desired professional setting, and prepare for job interviews.

The internship course is intended for you to develop professional skills and experiences associated with your internship environment(s) and give you space to be reflective throughout the year. It is our hope that this course will aid you to achieve this goal through being exposed to and developing these course competencies.

Providing in-class structure and assignments for the Internship 485 course will allow for sequential learning and reflection throughout the academic year and for robust peer-to peer sharing. It is our hope that your internship experiences will be less solitary through this sharing, and you will also benefit from hearing about areas of work in which you are not directly engaged. This course will provide another cohort-based experience for students (in
addition to the Master's Project).
