site. A qualified faculty member directly supervises the student's internship experience by working closely with the student and the
employer through telephone contact, site visitations, student reports and reports from the student's supervisor. Credit is awarded (at a rate
of 75 hours of work per credit) for the accomplishment of individualized specific occupational learning objectives written by the employer,
student, and faculty member; maintenance of time sheets; and final project. Student grades will be assigned as a cooperative effort between
the faculty member and the job supervisor. This course may not transfer to a baccalaureate degree of art or science within the universities
in the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE).
