HUS 460 - Pre-Internship Seminar

3 CR

This seminar course is designed to enable students to identify, prepare for and complete a successful internship experience in mental health or human services. Students will learn to translate their accomplishments, abilities and attributes into professional goals and will learn strategies to implement these goals. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding organizational structures and cultures, and on developing communication and interpersonal skills essential for succeeding in a professional environment. Students will initiate a background check (most agencies will require background checks State and Federal and MOV), consistent with the requirements of their planned internship site(s). A minimum grade of “C” is required in this course prior to enrolling in HUS 461, HUS 462, or HUS 463. Will be last offered in Spring 2020.
