What is an Internship?
An Internship is defined as an agreed upon structured and experiential learning experience in the area of a student's career interest and in a work setting. The experience is driven by intentional learning goals and objectives which extend the student's knowledge and understanding of classroom outcomes and is accompanied by structured reflection. Students must complete 40 working hours per credit hour. (Ex: a 3 credit hour Internship would equal 120 working hours.)
