Overview of class

The Internship Course is designed to support MSC students as they engage in an internship that aligns with their interests, coursework, and goals. Through readings, reflections, projects, and other assignments, students will assess their own skills, experiences, and interests to develop a personal plan on how to further their career development and individualized goals. Topics and concepts explored include career management and planning, performance management and principles of learning & development, personal branding, professional engagement, development of career assets, and professional engagement. Students are supervised at their internship throughout the quarter to receive support and ensure successful completion. This course occurs simultaneously while students are interning to provide a structured approach to those activities and to career development during spring quarter.

This asynchronous course delivery will require students to attend one mandatory in-person session on March 31 from 5:30pm-8:30pm CST, two live Zoom sessions (TBD), and additional coursework through Canvas. *NOTE: students MUST secure proof of internship by March 10.
