Internship and Placement

Internships, graded Pass/Fail,  are structured, supervised work experiences that enable students to gain practical, professional exposure to particular career fields. No more than six internship credits may count toward the minimum number of credits required in a major. No more than six credits in academic internship experiences may be counted toward the credit hours required for graduation. It should be understood that internship credits are based on the academic component and work assignment, and time commitment. Time commitment alone does not determine the number of credit hours awarded. A grade of I (Incomplete) will be assigned in cases when an extension period is requested and granted. This grade is reflected on the student’s transcript. Each credit hour of internship in an 8-week Term requires at least 15 clock hours and 45 minutes of work, per week, at the internship site as outlined on the chart below:
