A minimum of 320 hours in total must be worked. An integral part of the internship is the formal training program provided by the sponsoring firm or company. The employer provides a brief evaluation of the intern's performance at the conclusion of the internship. The intern keeps a diary of the internship, consisting of a chronological listing of work experiences, formal training, and a description of assignments and tasks performed. The intern writes a paper demonstrating the knowledge gained from the internship experience and the ability to integrate that knowledge with the intern's formal education to date.
Academic credit is available for only one internship.
