The internship program provides selected students with vocational experiences designed to complement their academic studies and introduces them to professional activities related to their baccalaureate degree programs.
Several departments offer internship experiences related to their majors.
The internships take place in field settings within participating firms or agencies and are supervised by faculty from the sponsoring academic departments. Interns are required to fulfill a set of objectives related to their majors, mutually agreed upon by the student, the faculty director, and the agency. The length of the internship experience and the credit assigned to it vary. Arrangements for internships are made by the student in cooperation with the student's department chair, or a faculty member designated by the department, and with the Coordinator of the College Internship Program, Erwin 106. Students enrolled in internships must provide their own transportation.
