Internships
Academic departments place and supervise students working in a professional environment representing a student’s academic discipline. The internship program is designed to provide the student with a practical, supervised experience in a professional setting representing the student’s field of study. Forty (40) contact hours are expected for each semester credit hour granted. Admission into an internship program is subject to the approval of the department. Interested students should contact the department chair of their major discipline for information. The internship application is available at the University Registrar’s Office, and from the chairperson of the department in which the internship will be completed. To receive credit for an internship, a student must apply, be approved and register before the work begins.
The approved University application is due in the registrar’s office 15 days before the beginning of the term in which the internship will take place. Students should contact the appropriate department chair for specific information. Placement is made by the supervising faculty member in the department in which the internship will be completed. Students will not initiate their own internship placements unless directed to do so by the department. Retroactive credit will not be granted.
