Creating an Internship Program
Our goal is for every student to achieve experience in their field of study before
graduation. Internships can be paid or unpaid and ideally, the experience could be
eligible for academic credit. It should be a learning experience that provides an
opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom in a real-world work environment.
Internships are beneficial to both our students and the employer. Often interns make
the best employees upon graduation; you have the opportunity to build a relationship
and a pipeline of new talent. The student gets invaluable experience in their field
of study with the development of soft skills such as teamwork, professionalism, critical
thinking, leadership, and communication.
Criteria for an experience to be considered an internship:
1. An internship should be more than a part-time job - it should be a learning opportunity where a student has meaningful training and work related to their field of study. An intern shouldn't be doing the exact same work as paid employees, especially unpaid.

2. An internship should have clear goals - what the student will learn, be able to
do, what project they will complete, what software they will become proficient in
- all of those objectives should be agreed upon beforehand.
3. An employer should provide supervision and feedback to an intern - this is required
if the internship is for academic credit.
