Most students plan to include an internship in their college career if at all possible.
Most students plan for the internship between their last two years of college. Students may be able to earn college credit for the internship experience. However, most students choose not to earn credit and do the internship purely for the experience and other benefits. The experience has to be approved and monitored in order for the student to earn credit. It is possible to earn 3-6 hours of credit depending on the type of work experience and the number of work hours involved.
