APK Internship – Check Application Details

Practicum experience credit hours were developed to give students majoring in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology practical training in their area of study.

About APK Internship

You must complete a minimum of 48 clock hours of practical experience for each credit hour registered. Prior to the end of registration (drop/add week), it is necessary to calculate the total number of clock hours that must be completed.

If the number of hours worked is larger or less than the number needed, you won’t be able to adjust the number of credits.

According to departmental policy, no hours worked in a previous semester will be granted credit retroactively.

Objectives

To use the internship as a stepping stone to find a job that pays well in the student’s field of study or to support an application for admission to a post-graduate program.
