Past Student Internship Slideshow
Our students have a plethora of options for their internship experience
Internships
Our internship course requires students to partake in a 14 week (40-60 hours per week) off-campus internship. Our department has connections with internships locally, nationally, and all across the world. Students work with their advisor to find an appropriate internship that reflects their career aspirations. If a student has an internship site in mind that is not already approved by the department, they may be able to work with their advisor to follow the necessary steps for approval. Internships may be completed during the Fall, Spring, or Summer semester.
Exit Interview
All of our students partake in an exit interview a semester before their internship experience. We encourage our students to consider internships that continually reach the University’s standards and have been recommended by our past students. Following the exit interview students will begin their internship.
