The Master’s Program Internship Experience

3 Credits.

This internship course offers students the opportunity to apply academic knowledge in a professional setting aligned with their field of study. Through a structured partnership between the university and a host organization, students engage in supervised, real-world experiences that support their academic and career goals. Internships are tailored to each student’s interests and typically require 80–120 hours of fieldwork, complemented by reflective assignments, online discussions/journaling, and a final project or report. Students must obtain approval from the program coordinator and submit a proposal outlining duties, goals, and relevance to their degree. This course fosters professional development, critical thinking, and integration of theory with practice, ensuring that students are prepared for both the technical and social aspects of a professional environment.
