Nonprofit Practicum

0 - 6 Units

The overall goal of this course is to provide MNO students the opportunity to develop a practicum experience in a non-profit organizational setting. The course is designed to enhance knowledge acquired in the classroom by allowing students the flexibility to develop an individualized plan that will integrate professional practice skill development. The students will work closely with their Academic Advisor to determine whether a practicum meets the student's learning needs. The student will also be assigned a Practicum Instructor, who is based at the non-profit setting and provides the direct instruction of the student. Finally, the student will work with the Faculty Advisor, who is based at the School and serves as a link between all parties, oversees the requirements and standards of the School, and participates and consults in the design of the student's learning experience. The Student, Practicum Instructor, and Faculty Advisor all participate in various ways in the evaluation of student's practicum; the Faculty Advisor is responsible for assigning the grade.
