Field Placement 1

The program's first formal field placement is 120 hours in length. It can be paid or unpaid. Some students complete the placement over two days a week for 8 weeks, e.g., or it can be completed for fewer days a week for a longer duration, depending upon the capacity of the host. Faculty provides introductions and position descriptions for postings, and guides and supports students to acquire placements, but does not guarantee to provide an opportunity for each student, nor "broker" each relationship. This placement is primarily project-oriented, focusing on specific projects within the host organization such as planning an event, conducting marketing research, analyzing financial data or carrying out an aspect of programming.
