Internships & After Graduation


1.2.1.2.5.5-internships_&_after_graduation-body-1

Internships

Every student earning a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science must complete an internship of at least 300 clock hours of on-site, in-person work. For students planning to continue their studies in physical or occupational therapy programs, these internship hours may count towards observation hours. Internships may be completed during the fall, spring, or summer.

What’s the process?

After identifying a facility where they would like to intern, students contact the facility to schedule an in person opportunity to discuss an internship experience as follows:

  1. Complete the internship application.
    Note that the application requires the signatures of parents or guardians, the on-site internship supervisor, and the student's academic advisor.
     
  2. Submit the internship application.
    Submit the application to the Office of the Registrar before Study Day of the semester prior to the internship. May Study Day is the application deadline for summer and fall internships. December Study Day is the application deadline for spring internships.
     
  3. Submit all written work.
    Once the application has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar, guidelines for the written work to be completed during the internship will be provided. All written work is to be submitted in one binder to the student's academic advisor at the conclusion of the internship.
