HOW TO SELECT A FACULTY SPONSOR

Department of Human and Community Development, University of California, Davis

____________________________________________________________________________________

DIVISION OF COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CRD)

CRD students enroll in 4 units of internship course work credit to fulfill one of their major requirements. CD graduate students complete 200 hours (6.7 units) of internship work in their area of academic interest in fulfillment of M.Sc. degree requirements.

DIVISION OF INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT (IAD)

IAD is an interdisciplinary major and a graduate program within the Human and Community Development Department. IAD students enroll in 4 units of internship course work credit to fulfill one of their major requirements. IAD graduate students whose emphasis of study is "Community Development," complete 200 hours (6.7 units) of internship work in their area of academic interest in fulfillment of M.Sc. degree requirements.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Internship courses are numbered "92, 192, 292" and contracts are located in the wall unit next to 1332 Hart Hall. Special study and research courses are numbered "99, 199, 299" and contracts are located in the hallway carousel outside 1303 Hart.

When a student wishes to enroll in an internship, special study, or research course work, it is their responsibility to first identify, locate, and secure the written approval of a faculty sponsor. Enrollment for HCD unit credit must be arranged with permission from HCD faculty, as unit credit can only be awarded by regular faculty in academic departments. Faculty agree to sponsor internships or special study projects when the focus of the student's project is well matched with faculty academic expertise and/or research interests.

To apply for academic unit credit, HCD students are required to complete a department contract (work plan). Students are required to have a completed contract on file with the Department of HCD before they start counting hours toward the fulfillment of internship, special study, or research course work. Faculty demonstrate their consent to sponsor internships or special study course work for academic unit credit by listing the academic work assignments on the "To be Completed by Faculty and Student," page of the contract and by signing their name to the contract work plan.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR STUDENTS

Faculty are under no obligation to sponsor internships, special study, or student research projects. Those who do agree to serve as sponsors are voluntarily increasing their academic work load. Please keep this in mind and be courteous when asking faculty to sponsor (and eventually evaluate) your internship or special study course work.
