Internship Experiences
Internships are practical work experiences required of all Therapeutic Recreation students. Each student completes a minimum of 320-hour, 8-week internship after the junior year, and a 560-hour, 14-week senior internship experience after completion of all course work. You will choose these opportunities from a variety of facilities across the U.S. in the areas of community, outdoor or clinical therapeutic recreation services. Longwood has affiliation contracts with more than 100 different agencies and is continually adding more. In addition to internships, several courses require volunteer fieldwork to enhance the learning experience.
