HRD 583 - Human Resource Development Internship


A graduate level internship is a work experience of a minimum of 180 hours completed in a semester and offered only to matriculated students. Students must have approval of their academic advisor in order to apply for an internship and register for this course. Course Justification: More grad students are coming to their degree program with little or no experience in the field for which they are preparing, thus an internship provides work experience with specific goals and a project designed to benefit the student and the organization taking on the intern. This win-win has been successful in support of students in the MS.MGT and MS.HRM programs, so we want to expand internships to our new MS.HRD land-based students. Student Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of this internship, students will satisfy academic requirements demonstrating: -a greater understanding of the role of the HR professional in the organization -improved skills and knowledge needed by HRD professionals in today’s organizations -applied research, theory and HRD concepts to what is being done in the ‘real world’ wtihin a project area (or case study of the organization) -appreciation for whether or not HRD is consistent with a future career interest.
