The culminating academic experience for students in Recreation, Sport and Tourism is a semester-long internship that provides students the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills gained from classes to a professional environment.

This formal, guided learning experience is supervised simultaneously by the agency supervisor and university internship coordinator.
