The HDFS Internship is the capstone course for our undergraduate majors. To best meet their personal interests and goals, students can select from a variety of Internship Tracks. The HDFS Internship consists of an intensive semester-long field placement wherein students apply their academic training in a real-life setting. Through this "learning by doing" experience, students develop the knowledge and skills that are critical for successfully achieving their long-range career objectives. Our internship students also make valuable contributions to the well-being of individuals, families, and programs within the local, national, and international communities.
