Placement

The department does not place students in positions but does maintain a list of employers who have employed CMU interns in the past, and posts announcements of internship opportunities received.

Semester Credit

If you have secured an internship position, you may register for CPS 395 or ITC 495. For each of these courses, you can earn up to 9 semester hours of credit; however, not more than 3 hours may count toward your major. As a general rule, 100 hours of internship experience equates to one semester hour of academic credit and no more than 3 credits may be earned on any single project.

Compensation

You are not normally compensated for your work as an intern working for a CMU department. If you're working for another organization, then compensation is established by that organization for your position.
