Students typically earn 4 academic credits for successfully completing an internship. Students have the option of continuing to work beyond the formal internship period, as needed. Approximately two-thirds of our internships are paid. This tends to encourage a more productive pool of applicants. However, the quality of the experience is extremely important - paid or not paid.
Pay is negotiated between employer and intern.
Stipends are an option as well, although we suggest you check with your human resources department to explore any legal issues regarding alternative payment. As a potential internship site, first determine what need an intern could meet in your organization. Next, determine who will serve as the intern's site supervisor. Successful internships usually include weekly meetings with the intern, attendance at staff and other meetings for educational purposes, and clearly defined work assignments. Your internship will be listed on our web page and also posted in our office.
