Internship Guide
Internships are a transformational development investment for students, giving them hands-on experience and industry insight. As faculty, you have a powerful voice in guiding them to pursue this type of opportunity, whether it's for academic credit or professional development (not for credit).
With internships for academic credit, faculty advisors oversee the academic components of the internship experience, including helping students develop learning goals, structuring academic reflection for the internship, and monitoring the student’s growth and learning. Find more information about the internship process at the links below.
