Continuous Registration

Level: Graduate

The intent of this course is to establish a practical grounding of those theories that students were exposed to while at CCT. The course will be comprised of coursework students in their last semester who hold an internship position or employment with an organization doing work that relates to the CCT curriculum. Students meet weekly to discuss how the practices of their outside work relate to the many theoretical constructs introduced through the multiple disciplines that make up our program. We will address the utilization of the theoretical outside the academy as well as those issues that arise when the practical conflicts with the theoretical. Furthermore, participants will evaluate the relationship of their internship/ work-experience, and studies, with their career goals. Student evaluation is based on their performance in the internship, presentations to the class regarding their work experiences, participation in the discussion of other’s presentations, and a final paper approximately twenty pages in length. To register for the course: 1) Student must find appropriate internship. 2) Internship must be 80% substantive work, and students should work between 14-18 hours per week. Internships can be paid. 3) Student must provide offer letter from internship supervisor, detailing the work to be done, hours worked per week, and duration of the internship. Professor must approve internship. 4) CCT will need to sign a contract with internship organization afterwards. 5) CCT will then register students for this course no later than Jan. 10, 2007.
