Welcome to Francis Marion University Academic Information Internships Internship programs provide an introduction to career options in a professionally related work experience in business, industry, government or service agency. Internships are offered by individual departments to allow students to gain practical work experience in a particular field while working on a degree. This work experience is usually unpaid and may offer academic credit if there is appropriate faculty supervision. Students generally work between 8 to 12 hours a week while also taking other classes. Rules of eligibility and lists of companies offering internships can be obtained from departmental offices.
Some majors require internships.
