Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an internship typically last?
Internships last 14 weeks.
How many hours per week does an internship commitment require?
An internship is based on classroom hours:
- 5-8 hours per week is a 1-credit internship
- 10-12 hours per week is a 2-credit internship
Internships max out at 2 credits because you are getting credit for the learning part of the internship, not just working. So a full time internship may only be a 2-credit internship. Additional credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
What are the academic requirements?
You must register for the Internship course during the first semester you are an intern. This includes attending a biweekly internship seminar and submitting a one-page proposal. Your supervisor will need to give you a midterm and final evaluation.
