Should you be offered an interview, be prepared. Consider attending an interview workshop offered by the Career Services Office. Follow-up all interviews. Always send a thank you letter indicating your appreciation and interest. If you were not granted an interview, follow-up as well to distinguish yourself from other candidates for the next round of internship hires.
Students apply theoretical concepts to the workplace and reassess ideas.
Hence, academic credit is given for placing the pre-professional work experience in a conceptual and comparative context. The primary distinction between credit and non-credit internships is the degree to which students are required to reflect on their experience. This distinction is exhibited in the differences in the academic requirements, the degree of college supervision, the investment of college resources, and the student s payment for and receipt of credit. With both credit and non-credit internships, placement is a coordinated responsibility of the student, internship staff, and faculty members. For credit internships, the academic department is expected to lead the effort, while in non-credit internships, the internship staff takes the lead.
