REQUIRED NUMBER OF INTERNSHIP CREDITS
 
All degree candidates for the Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Education (community option) are required to complete a minimum of nine credits of internship (Hlth 4996). One credit equals 40 hours; nine credits equal 360 hours.  Hence a minimum of 360 hours need to be spent engaged in working for the internship site.  Most students enroll in nine credits of internship, but occasionally some will enroll in 15 credits choosing to take their two Hlth 3XXX electives as internship credits.
 
 
EXCEPTIONS TO REQUIRED NUMBER OF INTERNSHIP CREDITS
 
There are exceptions to the nine credit minimum for dental hygienists, those who will student teach, and other health professionals returning to the University.  For students in these circumstances, a minimum of 4 credits of internship is required.
