Internships

In order to receive academic credit for an internship experience, the student must complete a set of forms requesting authorization to register for the internship course associated with their internship experience. These required forms must be submitted to the Kinesiology Career Services Coordinator prior to the start of any internship experience.  It is also important to note that internship credit can only be earned during the semester in which the bulk of the internship experience took place. It is the student’s responsibility to read the Kinesiology Internship Manual for complete instructions on how to proceed with the process of earning academic credit for an internship experience.

A list of past internship sites can be found at the Internship Portal to aid students in the process of finding an internship. Students are also encouraged to make an appointment with the Kinesiology Career Services Coordinator if they are having a difficult time finding an internship.

Note: Fitness Specialist and Sport Marketing and Management Majors must meet with an academic advisor to determine internship eligibility before scheduling an appointment with the Kinesiology Career Services Coordinator.

Internship Evaluations

Prior to the awarding of a grade for an internship experience, a final evaluation form must be completed by both the internship supervisor and the student before the end of the internship. The student must also complete an exit interview with the Kinesiology Career Services Coordinator at the end of the internship experience. All internship courses are awarded grades of S/F.
