Internships

All human development students are required to complete two semesters of field placements, one on-campus internship, the other at an off-campus site in conjunction with their capstone course. These internships provide opportunities to explore different areas of potential interest; develop strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills; make connections for their futures, and become proficient in research.
