Internship and Job Opportunities
Students pursuing internships for academic credit are enrolled in a variable-hour course. The number of credit hours awarded is based on the total work or “contact” hours committed during the term. An internship involving 120 or more work hours can earn 3 credit hours, while one with 240 or more hours can earn 6 credit hours. Undergraduate students may earn up to 6 credit hours over two semesters, whereas graduate students can earn up to 3 credit hours.
Note, many of these require a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree – but are open to type of degree plan or specialization.
