This course represents the second of four professional/Internships experiences (2 Internships and 2 Professional Work Experiences) that students in the Golf & Sports Turf Management (BBA) Superintendent program are required to complete in order to graduate. It builds upon the first Internship experience, HORT 180  and upon the information learned in the classroom. This course is designed to maintain and enhance the students hands-on skills acquired during the previous internship, and keep the student prepared for upcoming work experiences and internships. The student will be encouraged to explore different types of facilities than they’ve experienced in the past in order to build a varied experience and hopefully be exposed to different maintenance and management techniques. This course will be completed at an approved site. Students must complete a minimum of 320 hours (full-time employment) to fulfill the requirements of this course. Note that most employers will expect students to work from mid-May until the end of August.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course:
  1. Students will continue to have the opportunity to bridge the gap between theory and practice from the classroom to their work experience.
  2. The course will further prepare students for careers in their chosen field.
  3. The course will continue to demonstrate what will be expected of them in the profession and upon graduation.
  4. The course will reinforce information and skills learned while attending SUNY Delhi and while completing professional experiences.
