INTERNSHIP IN HEALTH SCIENCES

Catalog description

Optional internship or fieldwork course for BSHS majors. This course is a traditional internship with an additional classroom element to expose students to both fieldwork and a senior-capstone experience geared towards starting a career in an entry-level healthcare position, public health experience, or healthcare administrative experience. Students are required to complete 200 hours; 175 hours will be completed on-site, while the other 25 hours are made up of traditional class room time (5 to 6 classes) and completion of several assignments relating to their internship and future career in healthcare. Students may use this course for minor capstones (if pre-approved by the minor coordinator) as long as the facility/organization specializes in working with the population related to the minor.
