    Description
    Internships are an opportunity for students to receive college credit for working in a position related to their field of study. Students will set learning goals, receive job coaching and resume-writing instruction. Internships provide students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience, develop social capital, explore career fields, and make connections in professional fields. To be eligible for internships, students will have declared a major, have completed courses in their major, or have acquired a high level of skill in their discipline, and are ready for on-the-job experience in a paid or unpaid position. Students are responsible for securing a position before they enroll in the course. 52.5 hours of paid or non-paid work equals 1.00 unit, completed within the academic term.
