The internship is an on-the-job learning experience with a sport organization and is arranged for course credit. The six-credit course number is SPORTMGT 650. The internship is scheduled for a minimum of 13 weeks with at least 40 hours of work per week. However, many internships are arranged for a longer period by mutual agreement of the student and sponsor. Arrangements are finalized through an internship contract signed by the student, the sponsor, and the Department Head of the Department of Sport Management.
