An internship seeks to offer students the opportunity for professional growth within an organization through the completion of challenging and meaningful work.
Students gain valuable experience that translates to high marketability upon graduation.
Students must receive the approval of their academic advisor prior to applying for an internship position. All internships for academic credit must receive the approval of the Faculty Supervisor. All International students who hold the F-1 Visa should consult the Designated School Officer in the Office of Multi Access Services to verify eligibility for internships and immigration compliance, and be approved if necessary. At a minimum, the internship should last for 6 weeks and involve at least 8 hours per week. An academic internship requires 120 to 150 hours working at an approved site for a 10 to 12 week period to earn 3 credit hours of academic credit.
