EXS 490 - Internship

Institution:
West Chester University of Pennsylvania
Subject:
Kinesiology
Description:
The Exercise Science internship course is a capstone experience that permits students to apply their academic training and develop oral communication skills under the direction of certified fitness/wellness professionals and/or licensed clinical professionals. While classroom input is inherent in educational programs at West Chester University, the application of academic theory gives the student experiences that will add to their personal and professional maturity. The internship is a requirement for all students in the Exercise Science Division of the Kinesiology Department. The internship provides the student with the opportunity to ask pertinent questions, make observations, and participate in agency activities that normally would not be possible for a paid, full-time employee. All internship experiences must be undertaken in an agency that guarantees to provide the student with supervision by an exercise specialist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, chiropractor, or physician assistant possessing appropriate academic and certification credentials as well as licensure, appropriate to the student's concentration of study.
