Internship I

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

The MPSM 7951 (Internship I) program is designed to help you get the most out of your internship to prepare you for your career after SIM. The assignments in this course will combine the real-world experience gained at the organization at which you are interning with academically guided discussions in a classroom workshop setting. These two strategies - theoretical training and professional/practical experience - complement each other and together will ground you in the reality of daily life in the sports industry, while at the same time enable an increased understanding of professional culture. The internship placement, therefore, should be viewed as a component of a larger, integrated academic experience preparing you for a successful entry into the sports industry immediately upon graduation.
