Global College Practicum Information

Practicum Information and Opportunities

A practicum in HRGS is now available to HRGS majors as a freestanding credit course!


In the practicum, students integrate theory and classroom knowledge with practice through supervised field work and structured assignments and reflections. The practicum involves volunteer work related to Human Rights and Global Studies in a relevant organization, and participation in specified seminars and/or written analyses.


A local placement can often be completed on a part-time basis, while in an international setting, the placement is usually full-time, and should be for a minimum of three months to allow time for understanding local contexts and cultures.
