Internships through NCC
Internships engage students in the classroom outside the classroom - the workplace. This form of experiential learning propels education into the world of action where ideas are tested and career-ready skills developed.
These immediate, concrete experiences in the workplace (and any workplace may serve as a classroom) become the basis for "learning by doing." Students discover new opportunities to hone competencies. They also acquire new knowledge and skills by successfully meeting interpersonal and intellectual challenges, applying classroom theories to practical problems, investigating work roles and career possibilities and, in some cases, providing community service.
But a successful internship requires more than just 'going to work.' Throughout each internship, students work with individual faculty supervisors to observe, and reflect on, the most significance events and experiences during the placement.
Each semester, students may earn between one and six credit hours of experiential learning through internships (to the maximum of 24 hours of experiential learning).
