Students are given access to a course site with information outlining the procedures that must be followed to design and complete an internship. Students must register for the course and credits which can be completed during the fall or spring semester, or during summer session.
The department Internship Program Director will evaluate all the necessary paperwork connected with the internship, provide appropriate program information to the intern and site supervisor, and assign the final grade.
The Internship Agency Directory is a listing of available internships appropriate for each major. Students may nominate other potential internship agencies for possible approval by the internship director.
Note: Another internship course, Internship II (01:377:497, 01:955:497), is available after completing the internship required for the student's major. This course may not be used to fulfill any portion of the credits required as electives for the chosen major. Offered Spring and Fall only!
