Internships

Internships allow students to acquire work experience, establish professional contacts and references, and of course, begin a career.

Some of our degree and certificate programs allow students to earn up to 3 semester hours through an internship. These internships are conducted under the close supervision of a faculty advisor and partnering employer.

For the 2011-2012 academic year, the for-credit option is available to students in the following programs who have completed prerequisite courses and/or received the consent of a faculty advisor. 

• Accounting
• Administrative Office Systems
• Art
• Auto Body Repair

Students interested in earning credit during an internship are required to obtain a Registration and Agreement Form from Career Services.  The Internship coordinator will facilitate the registration process, and if needed, help search for available opportunities.
