|
Internships require a 16-hour per week commitment, including 8 hours at a
community facility, 4 hours at the City College Fitness Center and 2.5
hours in a career opportunities workshop. |
|
|
The Fitness Specialist program is not designed to physically condition
students. The department recommends students maintain their own individual
fitness regimens outside of program hours. |
