MEC 566 - College Student Personnel Internship

3 Credit(s)

This course is intended to provide advanced field training for college student personnel students in a setting specific to their chosen higher educationrelated emphasis area (e.g., student affairs, residence life, admissions, or other). Students are required to complete 600 clock-hours of internship with 240 hours (40) of direct college student service. Higher education sites must be approved by the faculty supervisor of record. Only an approved highly-qualified college student personnel professional (typically with at least two years of higher education leadership/management experience) may provide supervision to college student personnel interns. Students typically take 3 credit hours of internship per semester. In extraordinary circumstances, up to 6 credit hours may be taken in one semester with approval of clinical faculty supervisor. Additionally, students may need to take additional internship credit hours should they exceed the typical two-semester time allotment due to lack of requisite hours or lack of demonstrated competency.
