The purpose of the internship is for the student to gain experience as it pertains to their kinesiology degree and professional focus.  This is not only a requirement for your degree, but we hope it will give you some practical knowledge in the field as well as some experience as you seek employment after graduation.  Your degree alone will not guarantee you employment after graduation.
