WHAT

A three-credit internship course that requires at least 9 hours per week/129 hours per semester of internship work, along with four in-person meetings with the professor and internship class which will fulfill the Experiential Learning requirement

WHY

This is a supervised internship; it is a course designed to move you out of the classroom and into on-the-job training. You will be working for a real employer, using the tools and insights you have acquired in your classroom work and, presumably, acquiring new tools and insights as a fledgling professional. The deliverables you will complete as part of the course will help prepare you for employment after graduation.

HOW
