Current Students

Internships are required for all Edson College undergraduate baccalaureate health program majors including:

• Community Health.
• Health Care Coordination.
• Integrative Health.
• Health Care Compliance and Regulations.
• Health Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Graduate students in the Master of Healthcare Innovation program interested in completing a health-related internship and earning college credit are also eligible to participate. 

Nursing students are not eligible for internship as they will have dedicated clinical hours in the nursing program.  

This is a 15-week course available to both in-person and ASU Online students who are enrolled in one of the 5 Bachelor of Health Degree Programs at Edson College. Students may select internships for 1-3 credits for these courses.

The course is currently available to juniors and seniors. Preferably, students should be in their final year of study and expected to graduate no later than one year from enrollment in this course.
