The Internship Experience (KIN 4936) is required for some seniors seeking a degree in Kinesiology. Internship (KIN 4936) can be taken as an elective for students who are on degree plans that do not require an internship experience. Students can see whether or not the internship is required by reviewing their degree plans in Degree Works. The internship should be completed during the final semester of the degree. The Internship provides students with the opportunity to apply an integrate the cognitive knowledge and skills in the real-world settings. As a department, we are here to support you in this authentic experience as you begin to transition into your career field upon completion of the internship program and graduation. We look forward to working with you throughout your internship semester.

The major goals of the program are:

• To prepare students for entry into the kinesiology-related fields
• To integrate classroom-based knowledge and skills in daily professional practice
• To provide students the opportunity to learn how to interact with patients/clients and individuals with various roles within a company/organization in a professional manner
• To provide students the opportunity to learn about the structure, administration, and activities of a company/organization
• To provide students with an opportunity to network with professionals in the kinesiology-related fields
