This course represents the 3rd of four professional internships experiences that students in the Golf & Sports Turf Management (BBA) students are required to complete in order to graduate. It builds upon the first two internship experiences, HORT 180 and GSTM 280 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.
