Select one of the options below:
Application of skills learned in interdisciplinary program or major to a variety of human service settings.
In this course, students participate in a hands-on work experience in a setting directly related to the field of adult development and aging. Once students have worked with their advisor to determine the best semester to take their internship, they should contact the Internship Placement Coordinator, Dr. Allyson Brothers, with whom they will work closely in order to ensure appropriate placement. To request a course override, students should e-mail Dr. Brothers: allyson.brothers@colostate.edu. Be sure to include your CSU ID and as much detail as possible regarding the timeline and desired internship placement. This is preferably done during the semester before the internship will be completed, as ample time is needed for the placement process, including selecting an internship site, completing a background check, signing a contract with the site supervisor, and setting specific goals and objectives for the internship experience. No classroom hours are required during the semester. Grades are earned as a result of completing the required number of internship site hours, attending required meetings (in-person or phone), and submitting the required written assignments.
