For students not fully decided about their career patterns, the internship may be useful in helping to focus their plans for the future. Students wishing to seek employment after graduation will find good references from intern supervisors helpful, and some internships may bring them into contact with news of relevant job openings. Students wishing to intern must be seniors in Auburn's Health Administration Major with a GPA of at least 2.8 in HADM courses. Auburn HA students have served in internships in all of the major cities in Alabama as well as in a number of the state's smaller cities and rural areas. In addition, students have taken internships out of state in such locations as Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Students are welcome to suggest new intern locations.
Internships may be taken no earlier than the junior year. Once this preliminary scheduling has taken place, the student works with Dr. McEldowney on details of planning and carrying out the internship. For current information on the availability of intern positions for coming quarters, see the Intern Status Report . Within the scope of these requirements, specific duties of the intern are left to the discretion of the institution and the intern. Institutions are not required to pay interns.
