Practicum and Internships for SLAM Majors

SLAM students are encouraged to gain as much practical (e.g., internship) experience as is possible.

If you are a Senior:

• SLAM majors with Senior status should enroll for SLM 495: Practicum in Sport Leadership and Management.
• SLM 495 requires a concurrent internship experience that coincides with the class (this is the difference between a practicum and an internship).
• Students in SLM 495 need a minimum of 120 contact-hours during their enrollment in the course.
• Many students take SLM 495 online during the summer after their Junior year. The benefit of doing so is that students are not campus-bound (e.g., many students even intern abroad). The cost is that this necessitates summer tuition.

If you are not a Senior:

• Students who want to earn course credits for internship experiences should visit the SLM front office in Phillips Hall, room 106.
• Students will be prompted to complete paperwork and will be referred to a faculty supervisor who will administer the credit-for-internship process.
