All students in the Recreation
Administration major must complete an internship. For Recreation
and Park Management Concentration Students (Commercial, Community
and Recreation Resource), this usually this is done over the summer
for the full 10 units (195E). Students should be advised that
195 is a course that cannot be registered for through CMS (MySacState).
All paperwork must be completed and signed by their advisor and the
department chair, and then the student will be enrolled in the class.
Also...
- Students are responsible
for finding their own internship locations.
- On the department's forms
page, students should download and read the Internship Manual
which has all of the necessary paperwork.
- Your internship advisor will
most likely not be the same person as your academic advisor (due
to faculty workloads). Your internship advisor may also change
during the internship, but the 195 syllabus and required
assignments are standard for all students.
- The internship is 10 units (400
hours). At 40 hours a week, that's 10 weeks.
- Students must have all of
their core courses completed before signing up for their
internship.
- Students must also have
600 hours of documented pre-internship completed before their
internship. (See the Internship Manual.)
- Therapeutic Recreation
Concentration students should speak with Dr. Jennifer Piatt
regarding their internship requirements for 195D.
- RPTA Minors are not
required to complete an internship.
