General internship and practicum information

An internship or practicum provides the opportunity to take the classroom into the real world — and then to return to the classroom with increased awareness and new questions to explore.

Internships and practica are monitored, allowing students to set intentional goals and reflect actively on their learning. They can last a few months, a semester or a year.
