Field Experience (Internship)

 

Students in the Sport Administration major are required to complete a 12 credit (480 hour) field experience, typically referred to as an internship. The field experience (internship) is considered a culminating activity to be pursued following the completion of all course requirements. Students, therefore, can complete their internship in the fall, spring, or summer semesters. Students should consult their student handbook. The Sport Administration Program Coordinator, Dr. Richard Lally ( rlally@lhup.edu ), is also available to answer questions.
