Printed versions are also available in binders in the Career Services office on campus. We also forward printed copies of internship postings to relevant academic departments. Students may receive academic credit for internships through their major or minor academic department. The student is responsible for contacting a faculty sponsor and negotiating a learning agreement, registering for credit, and following through with required academic work related to the agreement with the faculty sponsor. In some cases, this agreement may specify that the employer plays a role in evaluating the student's performance during the internship.
Internships vary in length, depending on the needs of the employer and the student.
Non-credit internships are not necessarily scheduled on a semester basis, so afford additional scheduling flexibility. Summer internships are frequently full-time. We encourage employers to pay college interns for their work whenever possible. We encourage organizations to make an internship program part of their recruiting activities for permanent staff. Interns act as advocates for your organization among other students at the university.
