Service Learning Experience
What is Service Learning Experience vs. Practicum/Internship?
Practicum
A practicum is a mandatory program requirement to complete an unpaid work placement. A practicum is aimed at giving students supervised, real-world application and experience of theory and principles learned throughout their course of study. Individual programs may allow students to use a paid work placement with prior approval from an instructor if the job meets the goals of the practicum.
Internship
An internship is a volunteer or unpaid work placement with an employer to allow students to gain relevant work experience and guidance in a particular field. No credit is granted for Internships and the college is not involved in these placements.
Service Learning Experience (SLE)
SLE is offered as an opportunity for students to do an unpaid project or practicum/internship-type placement to obtain partial course credit. Like a practicum, the goal is to provide students with supervised, real-world application and experience of theory and principles related to a particular course and to gain credit towards that course.
