For many employers, good grades and the right college major are just not enough. They seek employees who have paid their dues in the working world. However, an intership may extend an additional term depending on the student's situation and the needs of the site. Students may complete more than one internship during their course of study, but only one internship will be granted for academic credit. Students normally work an average of 15-20 hours per week at the internship site.
Academic achievement is always the priority.
Internships may be paid or non-paid depending on the site's policy. Internships can also provide up to three hours of credit when formalized through the Internship Program Coordinator, a Faculty Sponsor, Department Chair, and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs. The Internship Program is located in Room 150, Davis Shaughnessy Hall. The staff will provide students with the application materials and answer any questions. The staff will also assist students in preparing resumes, cover letters and other materials as needed.
