An Internship is a period of work placement conducted with an appropriately selected organization. This experiential learning requires students to undertake a tailored and mapped work plan to match the content covered in the student’s program of study. Internships can be physical or online. The online internship program allows students to gain practical experience while working remotely, without being physically present at the actual placement location. Host organizations will treat internship students as regular employees, following the same working hours and rules.
Students in the College of Engineering are required to complete sixteen weeks of internship placement for two credits, this can be taken over two summer semesters, or in one regular (Fall/Spring) semester given that the student has completed all the required courses as per his/her degree plan. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to complete eight weeks of internship placement for one credit, this can be taken in one summer semester, or in one regular (Fall/Spring) semester given that the student has completed all the required courses as per his/her degree plan.
