EX 3010 - Academic Internship

This upper-level 3 credit course is designed to facilitate and support a student’s academic internship experience. The internship serves as an opportunity for the student to develop industry knowledge and gain additional skills in preparation for post-graduation opportunities. It is an apprenticeship-type opportunity to gain training for the type of job the student would like to pursue after graduation. The internship experience is intended to provide the student with a meaningful experiential opportunity related to his/her major and career goals. The hours spent at the organization compose the majority of time required for this course. Each student will establish measurable learning objectives for the internship at the outset, as well as complete reflective assignments. As the Academic Internship is a course, students receive credits for what they learn through their field-related experience, not only for the experience itself. Instructors will evaluate your learning experience based on the reflection of the student’s achievement of objectives and goals. To participate in Academic Internship, students must first secure a position at a site and then submit an Experience360 Activity Application on Experiencelink. Once the application is submitted on Experiencelink approval from the site supervisor and Department Chair is sought through an automated email. These approvals are required in order to be registered in the Academic Internship online reflection course. Students can plan these courses on their schedule, but students are registered for the Academic Internship online reflection course by E360 staff. If you have questions contact E360@delval.edu
