When selecting APA optional courses, students should consider enrolling in courses that relate to their desired internship domain. Host organizations want their internship students to possess specific foundational knowledge prior beginning their internship. A proper course profile will also optimize the student’s learning experience during their internship.
The following course recommendations can help guide students prior to registering for APA 4211. Students should try to complete as many of the recommended APA 3000 level courses before beginning their internship. The APA 4000 level courses can be completed during the student’s final year while simultaneously completing their internship experience.
