An internship is designed to give students direct exposure and experience working in a professional environment. It requires, and develops, both content knowledge and soft skills. Pre-majors may consider an exploratory internship in any area; majors are encouraged to complete an internship in the discipline in which they desire to work after graduation. Students will work with the department faculty and the Assistant Director of the Career Planning Center to initiate the internship request. Since this is an academic experience, students will develop a learning contract in collaboration with the site supervisor, will complete written reflections during the semester, and will complete a portfolio at the end of the semester. Students may choose to complete more than one internship, but no more than 6 credit hours may be applied toward the student’s graduation requirements.
