EGST 0398 - EGST Internship


Credits: 3-6

Juniors or Seniors seeking to put theory to practice may intern at sites selected in consultation with their advisor(s). Students will be required to complete a learning contract, submit weekly logs, create a professional portfolio, be evaluated mid and end of semester by a site supervisor, and write a final paper which is topic specific and assigned by the instructor. Such papers might address specific concepts relevant to the student’s course of study. For example, a student working at Planned Parenthood might examine the role of women’s health clinics historically in the United States or in a particular region. When internships are taken during the semester, students will meet monthly to share experiences, struggles, and successes. EGST student might consider selecting sites addressing urban planning, environmental health, public policy, community literacy, among others.

Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing.
