MHE 797 Internship I
Students will complete two 150-hour mentored field experiences (internships) at two different places in university-approved settings, for three credit hours each. One of the internships may be satisfied through the apprenticeship, if the student opts to do so. Each internship will begin with the student, in collaboration with a mentor, developing pre-stated learning outcomes and a review of relevant literature. A final paper will include a critical analysis of the organization/department and leadership, a synthesis of the experience with the students’ learning objectives, and reflection on the relationship of what was learned in the internship related to the student’s professional goals. Internship students will have an accompanying seminar that may be taken online if they are not on the campus.
