Check with Barge 202 and obtain the booklet designed for the Employer s Guide to Student Internships. The Learning Agreement is the binding contract for the work. You may have a paid position or an unpaid one. You may arrange for your own internship or find one through the Career Development Services office. Credits are assessed at the rates for the quarter, with summer credits being higher normally than the costs for the other three quarters.
Graduate students pay a higher fee than undergraduates do.
Remember, if you are a graduating senior and wish to participate for credits, you should consider being graduated in August, rather than June. Some graduate schools will allow a student to transfer in perhaps as many as 8 approved credits toward a master s degree. You will be on a contract issued through this office in cooperation with your academic advisor, your employer, your department head, and the University Career Development Services Department representative. If you network and find your own job, but you need help setting it up, your contact in the Barge office is Maxine Herbert Hill. The Department of Geography and Land Studies internship program is operational year-round, but usually the summer is the most active period.
