In addition to completing 120 hours of field placement for a three-credit internship, students will be expected to meet periodically both individually and in group settings with the Director of Internships. Readings and writing assignments may be assigned as necessary in order to enhance performance at the placement.

Only one Internship may be included as part of the courses needed to fulfill the major.
