Planning Your Internship
Plan Ahead:
Set up your internship several months in advance of when you want to start it. For instance, if you wish to do an internship during spring semester, you should start the process by mid-October. It can take time to arrange a good internship.
Planning Steps:
- First, check the Eligibility Requirements above to make sure you will be eligible to do an internship when you want to.
- Then browse through our Internship Sites to see what appeals to you. Do not contact internship providers directly at this point; the Internship Coordinator will assist you in deciding which internships sites may be most suitable for you.
- Review the procedures for Obtaining Your Internship and Successfully Completing Your Internship, so you understand what’s involved in this for-credit experience.
- Meet with the Internship Coordinator to determine which site(s) you will apply to; download the Placement Agreement.
- After securing an internship, submit a copy of your completed Placement Agreement to the Internship Coordinator.
