Requests to use an assistantship to fulfill the requirement must be cleared by the Director of Career Services before the assistantship begins. The requirement that the internship be paid may be waived if the agency with which the student intends to work is unable to compensate the student due to budgetary restrictions. The internship must contribute to the student's educational and professional goals, and meet all other terms of the internship requirement. Students doing unpaid internships to fulfill their requirement must submit a Waiver for Unpaid Internships form with their internship contract. Any questions about whether or not an internship will fulfill the requirement should be brought to the Director of Career Services prior to starting the internship.
Supervision is the responsibility of the internship employer.
We ask each organization sponsoring an Evans School intern to provide the student with quality, graduate level work and the appropriate supervision and mentoring to make the internship a worthwhile learning experience. We expect the student intern to efficiently produce high quality work for the organization and to be a contributing member of the professional staff for the duration of the internship.
