University graduates today are more equipped for work and service in their communities when they have had internship or like experiences. PLP provides a number of ways for students to pursue their passions and career interests through internship learning.  Each academic minor student is required to take 6 credits of electives. Usually these electives are met with a 4 credit course of the student's choosing that supports their leadership in an individualized way and the remainder can be acquired through a 2 credit internship.

Internships require 40 hours of work per credit hour and allow students to immerse themselves more deeply in a leadership learning opportunity.  Students will work with their assigned PLP faculty adviser to determine what kind of an internship will best round out their leadership development experience.
