Can students work during a domestic HECUA semester program?
Yes, it would be unrealistic to assume that students would not work during the semester, but bear in mind HECUA courses are vey time consuming. If students do work during the week, scheduling conflicts cannot arise between HECUA classes and a work schedule. In addition to balancing two days of class, homework, and other commitments, students spend approximately 15-20 hours at their internship site per week. Also, certain programs may occasionally require events in the evening, presenting scheduling conflicts for students. In a week, not including hours necessary for homework, we ask that students commit around 36 hours to the HECUA experience. However, all course components are detailed extensively in your syllabus prior to the semester. If you take a few moments to review possible conflicts and plan accordingly, you should easily be able to undertake both ventures.
