Internships
Brief Overview:
An internship is identified as a relevant work experience (frequently unpaid), which provides qualifications necessary for future employment. Certain criteria must be met before a student can be authorized to register for academic credit. In addition, fitness specialist and sport marketing and management majors, for whom the internship is a mandatory component of their academic programs, must see an academic advisor to determine Internship Eligibility before scheduling a meeting with the department internship coordinator.
For complete instructions on how to proceed with an internship, please GO TO THE HPER INTERNSHIP PORTAL where you can access all the details for your internship. You may also CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE INTERNSHIP MANUAL.
Internship Evaluations
Prior to the awarding of a grade for the internship experience, evaluation forms from both the supervisor and the student must be completed and returned to the Career Center at midterm and approximately one week before the end of the internship. The student must also complete an exit interview with Susan Simmons at the end of the internship experience. The grade for the internship is S/F rather than a letter value.
