Internships

Internships are offered to students with junior status and above based on the premise that academic knowledge combined with practical experience better prepares students to succeed professionally beyond college. Students have the opportunity to identify their own internship sites and experiences with the assistance of the Director of Experiential Education and Workforce Development and the Sullivan Career and Life Planning Center (SCLP). Students are encouraged to connect with the SCLP during their second year to begin the internship process. Once a student has secured an approved internship site, their learning activities and performance are documented in a learning contract, which is approved and evaluated by college faculty/staff and the on-site supervisor. Three-credit internships require 120 hours; six-credit internships require 240 hours of approved supervised work. Internship courses are graded on a pass/fail basis.
