Interns typically work for one semester in positions related to their majors.
Many interns are referred from their academic department while others are referred from Career Services. Internships may be volunteer, stipend-paid, or fully paid. Some internships require a certain number of weeks to be spent at the job site and others are very flexible. Some of the academic programs will mandate a minimum number of hours worked in accordance with the amount of academic credit which is being earned. Interns many times receive academic credit for their experiences though not all internships provide this.
