HMNS 290 - Internship in Human Services I

(2 Lecture and 80 Worksite Hours) 3 Credits


Prerequisite(s): HMNS 201 - Human Behavior and the Social Environment  and HMNS 205 - Interviewing and Counseling Skills ; permission of instructor; in addition, Substance Abuse majors must complete HMNS 105 Introduction to Addiction  , HMNS 208 Assessment and Treatment of Alcoholism and Drug Addiction  , HMNS 212 Community Resources and Case Management  , and HMNS 213 Advanced Counseling Skills  .
An internship provides the opportunity for experiential learning through student involvement in a local social service agency. This course is designed to provide a bridge between the concepts learned in previous Human Services courses and the practical application of these concepts in a direct practice human service setting. A variety of field experiences are available to meet areas of student interest including work with the homeless population, at-risk youth, the elderly, individuals with mental health and substance use disorders, other disabilities, and other populations of interest. Students will spend a minimum of 80 hours in a field setting and assume an active role in the delivery of services of that organization. Individualized learning outcomes are established at the outset between the student, instructor and field site supervisor to ensure a clear understanding of the student’s role and the competencies to be developed through the field experience.
