Internship and Employment of CHS Alumni

Each program within the College of Health Sciences requires a 240- or 360-hour internship during your senior year. The internship experience allows you to apply what you learn in the classroom to the workplace. Our career specialist, Fonda Fracchia, provides students with professional career counseling/coaching, resume critiques, mock interviews, job search strategies, career events, networking opportunities and more.

Study Abroad

Each year, faculty members within the College of Health Sciences lead students on a study abroad expedition. Most recent experiences have taken students to Cape Town, South Africa and Florence, Italy. Other destinations include Switzerland, Belize, Costa Rica and China. You receive course credit and greatly benefit from the overall experience. For more information pertaining to the upcoming trip, please contact Mary Catherine Schallert.
