Academic Internship Requirements

• Students who want to pursue an academic internship need to have completed 12 credit hours and maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA.
• Students who want to pursue an academic internship are required to work with a faculty adviser who will oversee the term of the internship.

Career Services will assist students who do not have a faculty member identified.

• Academic internships must coincide with an appropriate academic term. The Career Services Center can assist students with the available options.
• All internship hours must be completed during the same term the student is enrolled in the internship class.
• Academic credit is earned by completing the required work hours and the academic assignments identified by the faculty adviser.

1. 1. • 75 work hours + coursework = 1 credit
      • 150 work hours + coursework = 2 credits
      • 225 work hours + coursework = 3 credits
      • 300 work hours + coursework = 4 credits
