Education On-The-Job Experience

A Practicum is an important key to linking academic theory to your career objectives.

The Practicum and Cooperative Education program at Muskegon Community College is an academic program in which classroom study is combined with career-related work experience.  Students who participate must meet the eligibility requirements determined by faculty within their chosen discipline of study.  Internship and Cooperative Education students earn academic credit and learn to apply classroom skills while establishing professional contacts with employer on the job.

If you are a student inquiring about an practicum, please contact the Education Department Coordinator at 231.777.0397 or email Sherry.Fairfield-Tagle@muskegoncc.edu.
