Course Description

Internship with Industry (1.5 credits, asynchronous online, elective) supports graduate students as they complete a supervised internship aligned with their academic program and career goals. Through targeted readings, short video lectures, structured reflection, and peer interaction, students connect internship experiences to career frameworks and workplace competencies. Course modules emphasize goal setting (SMART goals), self-awareness and communication (DiSC), career design and prototyping (Designing Your Life; Life Grid and Energy Mapping), persistence and performance (GRIT), and navigating change (VUCA, including reflection on emerging technologies such as AI). Students produce artifacts that document progress, analyze workplace context, and translate learning into career direction through a final synthesis reflection. 

The course requires a minimum of 105 internship hours and completion of a supervisor evaluation through the Experiential Learning Module.
