This should be completed in consultation with the student. The outline must then be approved by the MSU instructor as meeting the requirements for an internship. The student must write a paper at the end of the internship that provides a critique of the experience. Be specific and give examples of how you learned the lesson. The department takes no position on this.
Some students are able to negotiate an hourly rate of pay that exceeds minimum wage.
Others are happy to do it for free in order to get the experience. Whatever you and the employer work out is fine with us. We look upon this as a private matter between you and the employer. The Internship is treated like any other MSU course. You may use Racer-Touch to register for the course, although you should discuss the requirements with the instructor in advance.
