Since many of the Internship locations are government related and require background checks, it is recommended to start the process several months prior to the start of the semester you wish to register for the Internship.

You should prepare a resume and email it to Career Services. Career Services will assign one of their staff to meet with you and review the resume. You should also meet with your advisor to discuss your Internship.

We do not assign Internship locations, but we do encourage you to seek out an Internship site, much like you would for a job search. In the event that you have difficulty finding a location, we will assist you in identifying a location. We also keep a list of locations that have been used by prior students and can be used to help focus your search.

You will be supplied with an Internship Guide that will fully explain the assignments. You will need to complete Weekly Timesheets and Journals to document your hours and activities. You will also complete three self-evaluations during the Internship.

A site supervisor will need to sign the Weekly Timesheets and Journals and complete three Supervisory Reviews during the Internship.
