Internship Description
The Fitness and Wellness Internship/Practicum program is designed to enhance your classroom instruction with practical experience that will round out your education. While we encourage students from all programs of study to apply, the Fitness and Wellness position may correlate best with exercise or health related programs, (such as Exercise Physiology, Community Health Education, Kinesiology, and Nutrition). In order to meet the needs of the intern/practicum students, Campus Recreation experiences are flexible. Positions are available year-round and for credit hours, (time commitment and credit hours depend on your program requirements).
Intern/Practicum students are expected to demonstrate initiative, dependability, inclusiveness and a positive attitude. All intern/practicum students are representatives of the Department of Campus Recreation and report directly to the Assistant Director of Fitness and Wellness.

Students will have the opportunities to gain experience in these potential areas:
- Fitness center operations

- Personal training
- Educational programming
