Internships

  • Our internships are intensive, full-time fieldwork experiences.
  • Internships provide students the opportunity to apply what has been learned in the classroom to a work setting.
  • Students are supervised by professionals who guide their development.
  • Upon completion of an internship, a student is prepared for an entry-level professional position.
  • Students complete 480 or 600 hours at their internship placements.
  • These fieldwork experiences are determined by a student's career preference.
  • Faculty carefully advise students during the internship planning process.

"The Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, FL, is a private resort where I did my internship. I planned and implemented events for children and adult groups who came for conferences and vacations. It is absolutely beautiful; it's like being in paradise." Megan McHale

"My internship experience at Marworth, a chemical dependency rehabilitation facility in Waverly, PA, has made a significant impact on my life. I was provided the opportunity to apply concepts I learned in the classroom. Prior to this experience, I had no idea how I could relate to persons with chemical dependency. It has been an experience I will remember for the rest of my life." Caitland Hawk
