Students interested in those internships should contact the coordinators in their respective departments. Duquesne's Career Services Center coordinates other internships as a service to the College. To serve an internship students must have earned 60 or more credits, have a cumulative quality point average of at least 2.5, and have the approval of their academic advisor and a department, where applicable. The College accepts international credit only from programs it has approved. Students can go elsewhere for international experience, but will not receive credit toward a Duquesne degree from the College, unless previously approved.
Departments approve courses that apply to their respective major requirements.
Internships abroad are permitted, consistent with the College's existing policy. For programs taught in English in a non-English speaking country, students are required to take at least one class in the language of that country during each term of their residency there, unless they are already fluent in the language. Students must be at least sophomores and have at least a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for study abroad, or appeal to the College's Committee on International Education. For each approved international program or school, the College adopts a grade equivalency that permits automatic conversion of the grades earned abroad to their Duquesne University equivalents, which appear on the Duquesne transcript, with the transcript from the foreign institution attached. Students can appeal grades for courses counting toward the major requirement to their department chair.
