PDE 400 is a Professional Development Experience with an online course component. All undergraduate students (except Nursing & Education students) must earn at least 1 credit of PDE 400 in order to graduate. Students should speak with their academic advisor in the second semester of their sophomore year about PDE 400.
To register for PDE 400, the student must complete the application process (instructions are included in the section below).
Internship
A student is eligible to apply for PDE 400 once they have reached 60 credit hours?
To allow adequate time for the processing and approval process, the CCD needs to receive applications approximately 4 days prior to the add/drop deadline of each semester. The deadlines are updated on applications at the start of each semester.
Over the past year students have completed experiences at site locations including: Blue Bird Corporation, United Way of Central Georgia, The Methodist Home for Children and Youth, Georgia Women, The Bibb County Victim-Witness Assistance Program, the Macon Mayhem, the 567 Center for Renewal, and many others. Additionally, students have held internships, teaching assistant positions, or research assistant positions with on-campus departments such as the Willet Library, the Psychology Department, the Center for Career Development, and the Athletics Department.
Contact Helena Xia (hxia@wesleyancollege.edu) and the CCD (careerdevelopment@wesleyancollege.edu). They will work with you to complete the necessary work authorization paperwork (Curricular Practical Training paperwork). Your academic advisor will be asked to complete a form describing how the internship is an integral part of the student’s curriculum, and the course number/credit load the student will be enrolled in.
