Quality Control in the Administration of Sport Management Internships
Kelley, Dennie Ruth
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance (JOPERD), v75 n1 p28 Jan 2004
The quality of an intern's learning experience is the joint responsibility of the academic internship coordinator, the administrator of the sport management program, and the agency supervisor. The purpose of this article is to identify the areas of administrative concern in the three major components of an internship: the institution granting academic credit for the internship, the agency providing the experiential learning opportunity, and the student who has been placed as an intern in an agency. The article suggests ways to prevent certain administrative problems with the internship and challenges the sport management profession to establish standards that would reduce or eliminate the inconsistency of internship expectations among institutions.
