In some professions, field experiences are vital to building the skills needed to advance. That’s why a number of our online degree programs include a field-based, supervised internship. Longer and more intensive than a practicum, an internship offers a broader training experience with added responsibility so that you can develop the hands-on expertise you need to practice in your chosen field. You will work with Walden faculty to determine the most suitable site and the type of internship experience that best matches your interests. Your internship will enable you to:
Apply the theory gained in your courses to a real-world setting of your choice.
Further develop practical, professional skills in your field.
Take on responsibilities that allow you to make a difference in the lives of others.
Obtain the expertise and credentials necessary to further your career.
