GEN 6800G - Graduate Internship

Credits: 4

A graduate internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. This is an opportunity for the student to put into practice technical and/or technical management skills and knowledge learned through their MS program. Graduate internship requires that the student first secure a suitable internship which is approved by the faculty advisor. Subsequently, a learning contract which describes duties, goals, and assessment must be developed and agreed to by faculty advisor, student, and site supervisor. The student must maintain a journal of activities, meet periodically with faculty advisor and site supervisor, and complete post-internship paper or presentation as determined by the faculty advisor. Prerequisites: Completion of at least 8-credits of graduate studies and a 3.0 GPA or consent of the faculty.
