Before accepting an internship, you must receive approval from your internship director.

Students should provide:

• A job description for the internship.
• Organization contact information.
• Confirmation they can complete the required hours.
• Confirmation the internship is paid.
  

• Internships are expected to be paid experiences. Any unpaid internship must receive advance approval.
• You must complete 480 hours with the same organization.
• A maximum of 40 hours per week may count toward internship requirements.

• You must be enrolled in MKT 490 or HSA 490 before the internship begins.
• Internship courses include assignments and evaluations connected to workplace performance and professional learning.
• With approval, you may earn credit for one additional course while completing their internship.
• Participation in approved co-op programs may qualify for additional coursework opportunities.

You are expected to conduct yourself professionally throughout the internship search and placement process.

Once an internship offer is accepted, you should discontinue pursuing other opportunities. Accepting a position and later declining it for another offer is considered unethical and may result in removal from the internship course.

Any internship concerns or changes should be discussed with the internship director immediately.
