Opportunities are available from the first semester of the freshman year through the student's four-years at Southern. Students may earn four or eight semester hours of credit. Especially popular is the 8-hour summer internship where the student works 40 hours a week for eight weeks in the place of the internship. That provides valuable, intensive experience. Students do internships in and around Joplin and any place in the world where they seek to do one.
Internships can be in any field or any place where the experience is related to the student's field.
Some have done internships on newspapers, in radio or television, for magazines, in public relations, and in a host of other areas. Back to top of page. Updated October 20, 2000.
