GS 201 - Internship

Credit Hours: 3

This unpaid internship is designed to provide Liberal Arts students with an opportunity to explore possible career interests in a work setting where students develop important job skills and gain practical work experience consisting of approximately 135 hours of supervised activity in a selected placement. Students gain not only experiential education, but also earn degree credits. In addition, students learn social behavior appropriate to their specific career interest. The placements are primarily intended for students who have completed at least two semesters of full-time study or the equivalent. Since SUNY Erie is located in a large metropolitan area, it is anticipated that many of the internships can be arranged close to the campus. Arrangements can be made through the coordinator of internships, co-ops and individual department chairs.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

demonstrate awareness of social behavior appropriate to his/her specific career interest; and
describe the experience gained during the internship.
