You can download the complete Internship Handbook for WS 4010.  The handbook includes all the forms and information you need for initiating and completing your practicum experience.  Internships are required for majors who entered BGSU prior to Fall 2012. They are optional for majors who entered BGSU Fall 2012 or later.  Discuss internship possibilities with the Undergraduate Advisor.  You will enroll in CCS 3710 (Gender, Race and Culture in Community Based Practice) and may start initiating a field placement in consultation with the Undergraduate Advisor.
