Human Biology Practicum

Catalog description

The Practicum is a reflective Capstone option that allows students to make connections between academic, extra-curricular and pre-professional experiences. The Practicum is done throughout the Senior year and involves attending workshops, reflecting on your undergraduate experiences through a portfolio, and consolidating assignments including a presentation to your HumBio peers about your academic journey and a final Capstone essay. There are a variety of workshop options in the Practicum; your choices will reflect your own needs and aspirations. Options include alumni and career mentoring, practical skills development, and guided reflection workshops. Capstone progress and completion is tracked through the Human Biology Capstone Canvas site throughout the Senior year.
