Information about Pre-Professional Experiences (PPEs)
ORTEM students must complete a minimum of two 50-hour Pre-Professional Experiences (PPEs) to go on internship (REC 450) and graduate from the undergraduate program. PPEs can be paid or unpaid, but must be within the recreation field to count toward the two required PPEs. A form must be completed by the student and their supervisor for each PPE, which can be found on the ORTEM Canvas page.
