HE 4080 - Fieldwork in Diversity and Professional Practice: Community and Public Service

Summer. (Eight-week session) 3 credits.

M. A. Cocchini.

This course is part of the Urban Semester Program in New York City. Students learn through a cycle of experience and reflection. Over the course of eight weeks, students learn how to implement experience-based learning techniques and perspectives to enhance their competencies as initiates of professional practice. Students spend four days each week in an internship of their own choosing. One day each week, students have discussions with professionals who represent different aspects of the New York City economy. This exposure enables students to explore a variety of professional perspectives and practices. Students participate in reflections seminars with the director of the program to explore student internship experiences and learning.
