Students will secure their own internship sites prior to the start of their MEN 190 and MEN 196 classes. All internships must be approved by the Human Services and Mental Health Program Chair.
Students entering the public or private sectors of human services will be subjected to criminal background and sex offender registry checks and a TB screening as a condition of their placement in a training/practicum site. Students will be expected to cover any costs incurred for these procedures. Depending on the training/practicum site, additional tests may be required.
Students with a criminal record should contact the Program Head to discuss their practicum placement for MEN 190 & 196 prior to the start of those courses. Depending on their record they may have a difficult time, or be unable to find an internship.
Students who are younger than 18 years old will be unable to secure the required internship. They will be unable to complete the requirements of this Human Services degree until they legally become an adult.
