Available Internship Courses

• There are two internship courses available depending on your needs/course catalog. The courses available include HMD 400 and HMD 351.
  •  HMD 400 can be counted as your culminating experience.
  • You may take HMD 351 if you want to do an internship for elective credits (does not count for culminating experience credit or as a substitution for HMD 400).

How to Apply to an Internship Course

• HMD 400 requires an application packet that includes: a request for credit form, a liability release, CPT Acknowledgement (international students only), and a learning agreement. You may contact the Boughner Center to receive a copy of the packet for either course.
• HMD 351 requires a similar packet to HMD 400. Please contact the Boughner Center to receive a copy of the packet.

Course Comparison (note: for each course, student internships must take place concurrently with the class)

• HMD 400 is the culminating internship course for students.
  • HMD 400 includes a special project students will plan with their internship site.
