Practicum Business & Technology

Catalog description

This project-based practicum provides students in both the Computer Information Technology and Business Management Bachelor of Applied Studies programs with a hands-on opportunity to apply their skills in real-world professional settings. Students will design and complete a supervised project or field experience aligned with their career interests. Whether in IT fields such as cybersecurity, data analysis, or software development, or in management areas such as organizational leadership, operations strategy, or business process improvement, the practicum emphasizes initiative, professionalism, and the integration of classroom learning with practical application, while fostering problem-solving, communication, and workplace readiness across both technical and managerial domains. A secondary goal of the practicum is to help students explore potential career paths and assess opportunities for an advanced internship, capstone, or industry certification experience.
