Each student is supervised by a faculty coordinator who is responsible for developing learning objectives, approving a project and assigning a final grade for the experience.

The Graduate Placement Office assists students who are conducting job searches and/or self-assessments and students who desire accurate and timely career information. Services include, but are not limited to, vocational testing and an opportunity to submit resumes to a computerized database.
