Non-licensure internship capstone. In this capstone experience, education majors are assigned to an arts agency where they work with and are supported by a supervisor. Under supervision of an assigned university instructor the student conducts art experiences under actual conditions that include various arts management responsibilities. This practicum is a 150 hour (approximately 10 hours per week) part-time experience. AED faculty supervise the internship. This course is an alternative capstone in a non-school setting and does not fulfill the practicum requirement for state licensure.
