Internship Information

ONE HOUR OF ACADEMIC CREDIT REQUIRES 120 HOURS OF SERVICE IN YOUR INTERNSHIP. EVERY CREDIT HOUR BEYOND THE FIRST (TO A MAXIMUM TOTAL OF 6 CREDIT HOURS) REQUIRES 80 ADDITIONAL HOURS OF SERVICE. ALL INTERNSHIP PAPERWORK CAN BE FOUND HERE.

Fulfilling the Experiential Requirement
All students must complete a Graduate Internship Contract before any work begins. The following procedures must be followed:

The student and the internship supervisor should complete the first page of the SPEA Graduate Internship Contract and sign it.
The student should then take the Contract to their faculty adviser for approval.
Finally, the student must be in good academic standing (core/major GPA of 3.0).
After the contract is completed it must be submitted to the Office of Career Services in SPEA 200.

Again, a student choosing to do an internship to satisfy the experiential requirement must have the internship approved by their faculty advisor prior to starting the internship.

Course Credit Notes
In order to receive elective credit for their internship, students must register for V585 or E589 during the semester that the internship is completed.

Students must follow the same procedures, and fill out the paperwork as outlined above.
Once the contract is completed and returned to the Office of Career Services, the Office of Career Services will send the student an email authorizing registration for elective credit.
Students must be registered in the appropriate internship course (V585 or E589) at the time the internship is being completed (Fall, Spring, Summer).
Internships are graded on an S/F basis. Grades will not be awarded until all reports and evaluations have been completed and signed. If all reports are not received by the the Office of Career Services by the date grades are due to the registrar, an incomplete will be given. Incompletes can only be removed by completing the required paperwork.

Timeline for completing reports

Supervisor Evaluation

There is one final supervisor evaluation due at the completion of the internship.
Please note that the Supervisor Evaluation requires the signatures of both the intern and the supervisor.

Summary Sheet

The Summary Sheet is to be completed at the end of the internship. This information will be available to other students for purposes of identifying future internships and will be kept anonymous.
