Students in the HDFS major enroll in an internship experience that enables them to apply the knowledge and skills gained in
the major and to acquire valuable, closely supervised experience in the field. Designed as a capstone experience, the internship
is unique compared to those at other institutions in terms of the length of time students spend at their sites and the close
supervision they receive from a faculty supervisor. In addition to providing students with a substantive opportunity to interact
with children, families, and community professionals, the internship simultaneously offers a valuable resource to numerous
agencies in the local community.
As a capstone experience, you must meet the following prerequisites prior to enrolling in the internship:
Prerequisites:
Junior or Senior level standing
Minimum of 24 semester hours in HDFS content area
Completion of HDFS 105 and 106
HDFS internship coordinator approval
