The student must be a current second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year, or graduate student. First year students are only eligible during the summer before their sophomore year.

Students receive credit for the academic work and class hours they complete related to their internship, and not the number of hours they complete at their internship. However students should complete a minimum of four hours, and a maximum of 20 hours per week (regardless of the amount of credits you are seeking). More than 20 hours may be permitted on a case by case basis.
-
Paid work experiences (including on-campus positions) are acceptable, but will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Paid internship positions are okay.

Students can do a combination of fieldwork and the practicum course in one semester so long as they do not exceed five credits, and they receive prior approval from both faculty members (fieldwork faculty sponsor and practicum course instructor).

Students may intern at a family business but cannot be supervised by a family member.
