Abstract

Internship, as a learning process, is considered to be experiential in nature. Data gathered about the design and administration of ongoing internship programs operated by academic departments within a state university indicate that internship program, as an experiential learning device, is a flexible tool capable of being targeted towards multiple objectives. In this paper, design considerations for one such objective--organizational socialization--have been conceptualized.
