The Applied Studies program allows students to earn course credit for learning gained through paid or volunteer employment related to their field of study. The student is required to work a minimum of 120 hours (10 hours per week) over the course of a 12-week semester. All Disciplinary Credit Applied Studies courses are completed in conjunction with the Applied Studies Coordinator, a faculty supervisor and a workplace supervisor.
Your Role as a Workplace Supervisor
You will facilitate this experiential learning process by:
- Discussing the job (paid or volunteer) description and learning objectives with the student
- Indicating your willingness to support an Applied Studies course by signing the Placement Supervisor Approval Form. Students receive this form as part of their application package
- Providing the student with ongoing feedback
- Meeting with the Applied Studies Coordinator and student during an on-site monitor visit
- Completing a final performance evaluation at the end of the work placement
