How to Prepare to Complete an Internship
Meet with your faculty advisor
Ask your faculty advisor the following questions:
- Does my major require a for-credit internship?
- If no, is it beneficial for me to complete an internship for academic credit?*
- How many internship credits are required or do you suggest I take? For most majors 37.5 hours of work = 1 credit
- How/when will the internship course fit in my schedule to count towards degree completion?
- Am I eligible to complete an internship based on my GPA, academic standing, courses completed, and class year?
- How do I register the internship for academic credit and what is the deadline?
*Students may complete internships for academic credit or not for academic credit. Only for-credit internships are registered as a course.
