The program provides the opportunity to gain exposure on a highly-competitive NCAA Division III coaching staff, while increasing marketability to a future employer.

The intern will have the ability to be exposed to resume-building situations while applying coaching concepts and principles.

In addition, the intern will have the opportunity to be exposed to the administrative side of the athletic department through experiences with game management, facility coordination and working with the college's Student Athlete Advisory Council.

The head coach is the intern's primary supervisor. The intern will also be evaluated by the Director of Athletics.
