The department requires all students majoring in Exercise Science and Health Promotion to enroll in ESH 388 (5 credits) and ESH 488 (6 credits) internship classes.
Seniors can register for internship classes in two separate experiences of approximately 200 hours per semester or register for both internship classes together for one experience of 370 hours in that semester. Students must have a 2.5 minimum GPA in the major to be eligible for an off-campus internship.
This experience is designed to be practical; providing an opportunity for students to use the concepts, techniques, and theories learned in the classroom in a real setting. All interns are held to the highest standards.
Site and academic supervisors work closely with interns, who are required to prepare a resumé, interview for a position, log their hours, complete papers related to their goals, critique relevant articles, plan a major project, and be evaluated on their progress.
