Management Skills Practicum

Catalog description

This one-credit course must be taken in conjunction with an approved three-credit internship or co-op. Students will complete a series of assignments that require the application of theory and research-based knowledge from the field of management. At their internship sites, students will practice skills such as time management, active listening, group facilitation, and social influence. Written assignments will require students to reflect on these experiences as well as their broader understanding of leadership behaviors, motivation practices, and group dynamics. The class will meet several times during the semester, but most work will be done independently. Students will be able to choose assignments that best fit their own needs and internship experiences. A student may not repeat this course.
