准备
为实习做准备, students are required to take two semesters of 管理 Practicum. This class is designed to prime the student for the internship and for workplace environments. Students work in a "mini-internship," from six to eight hours weekly. 在这学期的课程中, students meet in a practicum seminar to discuss everything from leadership skills and resume writing to job ethics and supervisory style. This is a rich opportunity for students to grow both personally and professionally, and to learn a most important skill—networking in the management business.

音乐管理，2020
I have learned so much about teamwork, as well as the value of being a responsive and proactive member of a much larger network. My favorite part of the summer has been watching the music's journey from first rehearsal to performance!
Marcus Shuler, 音乐管理, 2015My internship with the city of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs gave me the opportunity to grow professionally through house-managing events during the Piccolo Spoleto arts festival. My internship has allowed me to have a more thorough, hands-on understanding of everything that I learned at 哈特学校.
