What Is An Internship?

• An academic relationship between the student, faculty supervisor, internship coordinator, and the employer. 
• An opportunity for the student to augment coursework with on-the-job assignments related to her/his academic interests.
• An experience in which the student has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what she/he is learning throughout the experience. 
• An internship may be a single-semester experience, or it may continue for longer than one semester; it may be paid or unpaid, and is taken for academic credit or for experience.
• Understanding that employers have needs that arise throughout the year, internships can be started at any point in the semester; however, it must be a minimum of 8 weeks in duration.  Credit ratios are as follows:  1 credit = 45 hours-internships are typically 1-3 credits.
