MSP 411 Maclellan Scholars Internship

Students will pursue an experiential learning opportunity with a private business, non-profit, governmental, or community-based organization. This experience is intended to link Maclellan Scholars program goals, classroom learning, and student interest with the cultivation of knowledge in an applied work environment. By completing assigned tasks–along with direct observation, reflection and evaluation–students will gain an understanding of the internship site’s work, mission, and constituencies, how these potentially relate to their academic study, while assessing the organization’s standing in its wider industry or field. Students will produce a critical reflection on their experience that considers specific learning goals. The internship must be approved by the faculty evaluator before the experience begins. Prerequisite(s): Permission of the Instructor. 1-3 hour(s).
