Integrative Capstone: Internship in Human Services

Catalog description

This capstone course is a field-based internship designed to develop and hone the practical application skills of a Human Services major. The course requires students to integrate the knowledge and skills gained from other courses in the program and to demonstrate the ability to apply their knowledge to practical situations. Students apply for an internship at a self-selected site and negotiate the terms of the internship experience with a site supervisor under the general auspices of their college mentor. The internship requires documented evidence of 80 hours of supervised experience and practice in a field setting where human services knowledge and skills are applied. NOTE: Registration for this course, a field-based experience, is by permission of the Academic Affairs. Early registration deadlines will apply. Prior to capstone enrollment, students are expected to complete the majority of their required major courses. Students should consult with their advisor regarding specific major courses that may be completed with their capstone. NOTE: Students who were admitted to the college before Fall 2019 and have remained active in their original catalog year are not required to take IDIS 601.
