Academic Credit Internships
An academic internship is any credit-bearing career-related work
experience of limited duration in which an individual takes on responsible roles
outside of the traditional university environment: in a non-profit organization,
a government office, or a for-profit business. Programs can be structured or
unstructured, as long as there is training and supervision involved and you are
receiving academic credit. It is a valuable form of professional training that
provides students with the opportunity to test their career interests in an off
campus setting. Positions may or may not be paid, and students can do credited
internships during the fall, spring or summer terms.
Summer Internships
Students must adhere to the Undergraduate Internship Application process to
receive summer internship credit. However, the following procedures are
different from the semester program.
- All students must register and pay a fee for their internship credit
through COPACE (The College of Professional and Continuing Education).
-
COPACE offers two summer sessions. Students must submit their application
materials according to the internship office deadlines. These deadlines are
based on one week prior to the add/drop date for each summer session.
*** DUE TO STRINGENT INS REGULATIONS, ALL
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE THEIR INTERNSHIP APPLICATION MATERIALS
PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF THEIR INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE. ***
Please meet with the Director of International Students and Scholars Office
when planning to do any internship in the United States to ensure that the
necessary immigration paperwork is completed.
Summer internship planning should take place throughout the academic year to
ensure you will have a Full-time faculty member willing to sponsor you and have
ample time to prepare your internship application.
