This is a supervised work experience that provides students with an opportunity to expand, develop and practice skills that support their area of specialization. First, they learn of positions through the BPC, either by being contacted directly by the office or by monitoring the job opportunities listed on the Internet.
Students can then interview for the positions in which they are interested.
Second, students find job opportunities on their own. The BPC will provide the student with the paperwork necessary to register the employer and position with the office. Students may not earn internship credit for existing jobs. Interns must work a minimum of 170 hours. The Faculty Internship Advisor in the student's area of specialization will screen the position to ensure that the learning experience is worthy of three hours of academic credit.
