How many credit hours should I complete before I enroll in PADM 7120: Professional Field Experience?
At least 20 credit hours in the MPA program must be completed before a student enrolls in PADM 7120. In order to secure an internship that conforms to a student’s needs and skills or ensure that an internship arranged by the student meets the requirements of the program, he or she should contact their advisor at least one semester prior to the internship’s desired starting date. Students are also encouraged to take the internship in conjunction with the Project Paper Seminar. By following this scenario, the internship assignments can furnish a foundation for the project paper.
