Program Descriptions

Professional Internship
Internships require a significant time commitment that entail careful thought and planning. Interns are expected to work 10-12 hours per week at their host sites and meet in a weekly seminar class for the reflective component of the internship designed to enhance the students' experiences. The CDC seminar's small group setting provides an excellent opportunity for students to work closely with faculty members who are committed to excellence in student learning. Students enrolled in internships receive 4 credits normal grading option.

Summer and Winter Internships
These programs have the potential for great individual flexibility. Students have the opportunity to either apply to one of the listing agencies or find his or her own internship placement. Internship opportunities are available across the United States.

The summer and winter program is a 2 or 4 credit internship. In addition to their work at the site, students enrolled in these programs are required to keep in regular contact with a faculty mentor throughout the entire time of the internship. Students can receive a nominal stipend from a site and still be eligible for academic credit.

Johnson City Mentor Program
