Students with a minimum of 27 program credits completed and a GPA of 3.3 or above are eligible to apply for an internship course for credit.  Positions are normally secured by the student and can be unpaid.   All internships offer an exciting opportunity to gain valuable relevant work experience while building a career network. The internship can be completed during any semester (Fall, Winter, or Summer).

The internship comprises of 3 course credits, which require successful completion of the job placement (approximately 10 hours per week for 13 weeks, or a minimum of 160 hours in total) and the submission of a research paper, supervised by a full-time faculty member. Internship applications must be submitted to the Department four weeks prior to the internship start date in order to be considered and must be approved by the Department.
