EDU 4600 - Internship in Educational Services

Credits: 6 hrs

Internships are off-campus experiential learning activities designed to provide students with opportunities to make connections between the theory and practice of their academic study and the practical application of the study in a professional work environment. The internship experience provides the student with authentic work experience, allowing them to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom in a supportive, supervised setting. Additionally, this experience will help students gain a clearer sense of what skills they may still need to develop and provides them with an opportunity to build professional networks. Internships are completed under the guidance of a university supervisor. In conjunction with the university supervisor, the student will create educational based activities for adult services which will create the students’ framework for learning and reflection. Interns will complete a minimum of 200 hours of service.
