Remember, if you are a graduating senior and wish to participate for credits, you should consider being graduated in August, rather than June. Some graduate schools will allow a student to transfer in perhaps as many as 8 approved credits toward a master s degree. You will be on a contract issued through this office in cooperation with your academic advisor, your employer, your department head, and the University Career Development Services Department representative. If you network and find your own job, but you need help setting it up, your contact in the Barge office is Maxine Herbert Hill. The Department of Geography and Land Studies internship program is operational year-round, but usually the summer is the most active period.
Students register for variable quarter-hour credits according to the amount of effort and tasks.
This is usually assigned as one credit for every 40 hours of work throughout the entire period of service. It is possible to set up internships with a 2-quarter duration. The University does not pay interns. Some agencies provide funds on an hourly basis. Paid internships are best because the student has to pay for the registration and credits.
