(1-6 hours) An internship is designed to give students direct exposure and experience working in a professional environment. It requires, and develops, both content knowledge and soft skills. Pre-majors may consider an exploratory internship in any area; majors are encouraged to complete an internship in the discipline in which they desire to work after graduation. Students will work with the department faculty and the Career Center to initiate the internship request. Since this is an academic experience, students will develop a learning contract in collaboration with the site supervisor, will complete written reflections during the semester, and will complete a portfolio at the end of the semester. Students may choose to complete more than one internship, but no more than 6 credit hours may be applied toward the student’s graduation requirements. Internships consist of at least 40 working hours per credit hour in areas related to the discipline. Advisors, program coordinators, department chairs, and the internship coordinator (or designee) must approve the internship before a student begins their work
