ProgramOverview
Introduction:
The Kinesiology and Health practicum and internship experiences are designed to provide students enrolled in KIN/HLTH 494 or 495 with practical experience at designated sites in the community. Under the supervision of an on-site supervisor and a college supervisor, students have an opportunity to apply previous classroom learning to real-world problems and solutions at the worksite. The practicum/internship, usually an unpaid experience, should be mutually rewarding for the student and the supervising organization.
