An Internship is an experiential learning activity designed to help students apply academically learned concepts, theories, principles, and skills while working in an industrial or business environment.  Students will have the opportunity to increase their marketability as well as their technical knowledge and managerial/interpersonal skills in their area of concentration by participating in the day-to-day operation of a specific industry or business.  Graduate students must link the internship directly to their program of study.

The work description and specific activities of the internship will be made jointly by the internship coordinator at the School of Technology, the site supervisor at the cooperating business or industry, and the student.  The internship program is a directed quality experience designed uniquely for each business/industry partner as well as student intern.

A mandatory final evaluation from business or industry site supervisor, and a weekly journal of activities are requirements of the internship and must be completed before credit can be earned.  The internship can carry from one through ten semester hours of credit for INT students, one through fifteen semester hours for COS students, and up to six semester hours of credit for graduate students, depending on academic loads and the approved degree program.  A minimum of forty clock hours are required for one semester hour of credit.

Accompanying forms must be completed and approved before actual enrollment in the course and start of internship.
