Internships The Division of Business and School of Public and Environmental Affairs, with the assistance of the ODP, offer internship opportunities for students. While most internships are volunteer, students meeting division criteria are eligible to earn credits toward their degree and gain powerful experience in their desired occupation. Students in these divisions should contact their advisor or division office for more information about internship opportunities. At the end of the rigorous course of study for health occupation students is the professional licensing board examination, a mandatory, comprehensive test to determine occupational competence. Due to the comprehensive nature of these exams, students are encouraged to participate in available commercial review seminars available in order to properly prepare.
Statistics show that students completing a review seminar are more likely to pass the board exam.
ODP has funding available to supplement the cost of the seminar. Contact your academic advisor to obtain information regarding a review in your area of study. The Office of Career and Placement Services, in conjunction with ODP, offers a free Job Assistance Workshop which is an important part of getting a productive career started once you have graduated. Though the workshop concentrates on criminal justice, and health fields, anyone is welcome to attend. The information acquired at the workshop can be applied in any field of study.
