Internships
The College of Arts and Sciences and the Career Services office recognize that it is important for students to gain practical experience through internship programs that augment their formal education and enhance their professional preparation. The College prefers that its students be paid for their work, but when this is not an option and companies insist that the students receive credit as a condition of their "employment," the College will place a notation as a "comment" on their transcript indicating that they have completed an internship, e.g., "Internship: Summer 2007." Students will not earn a credit unit toward their degree, however. Click here for information on getting this "comment" posted to the transcript.
Students should meet with a College advisor before they begin the internship to discuss applying for this special notation.
