The student is responsible for conducting research and completing a final project. Topics that are of interest to the student and have educational merit are explored in depth. Many departments offer the opportunity for students to receive credit for off-campus academic experience through internships. The Internship Program provides students with a wide range of placement possibilities in the private, government and non-profit sectors. Internships are directed by a faculty member of the college, and students are supervised on location by personnel of the sponsoring agency.
Internships are available during fall and spring semesters and in summer.
Students interested in pursuing internship placements should consult the Office of Career Development and Placement and their major advisor. For more information, please contact the Regis College Office of the Academic Dean. The individually designed major allows a student to design a program of studies according to her own interest and the aims of a liberal arts education. The program is designed to spur achievement and personal and intellectual development in ways other than those provided by the traditional majors. It is meant to be a major concentration characterized by creative integrity and firm academic rationale.
