Senior Internship Program
The Senior Internship Program is an opportunity for you to enhance your learning by exploring your career interests outside of the traditional classroom. The goal of the program is for Seniors to gain experience in their desired fields and obtain a favorable referral or recommendation from their site that will assist in procuring future internships.
Program Details
-
Students participate in a 3-week, unpaid internship during the last few weeks of the academic year.
- Internships consist of 20-25 hours per week according to the schedule determined by the site supervisor and the student.
- Students are matched with available internships in their skill and interest areas.
- Sites may request to interview students.
- Students may also self-design their own internship and apply for approval.
- Students will work with a faculty mentor, in addition to their site supervisor, to track progress. Students must submit a one page reflection paper and an activity log each week.
- Students will receive .25 credit on their final transcript upon completion of the internship.
- Students will complete a final reflection project to present during the Internship Fair at the end of May.
