Internships
Many academic programs at Houghton College recognize a field placement experience as an integral component of professional preparation. Internships are considered to be quality, experiential learning opportunities, generally in off-campus, nonacademic settings. They are intended as highly structured, professionally supervised experiences and usually occur during the junior or senior year of the student’s academic program. Internships require approval by the supervising academic department and extensive involvement by the student. Supervision is a shared responsibility between the academic department and the selected field agency.
