About SPEA Internships
All SPEA students are required to complete an internship relating to their major/concentration. In order to meet this requirement students must first complete SPEA V252 (Career Development and Planning) and meet all academic eligibility requirements.

Students who fail to submit internship documentation BEFORE beginning an internship and/or fail to meet academic eligibility requirements will not receive credit. SPEA does not award internship credit for internships that have previously occurred.
