The Practicum Experience
The FYCS Practicum takes you outside the classroom where FYCS students complete an internship at a community-oriented organization during their senior year. The practicum course (FYCS4941) requires students to complete an internship at an organization that aligns with their interests, helping them gain real-world experience and apply what they've learned in the classroom.
In your practicum, you are part of a team of professionals, and you can see firsthand the real-world applications of your coursework. Learning happens naturally as you navigate office dynamics and understand how these organizations really function. By the end of the semester, you'll have gained practical skills and professional connections that will further your future career.
