During the application process, students will prepare a cover letter, resume and reference page, complete additional requirements and have a personal interview with the prospective business representative. If selected for an internship, students are required to spend a minimum of 150 hours on the job. Internships will be overseen by a faculty advisor who will provide guidance to the student and business representative.
In order to assure that the internship is fostering a positive learning experience, evaluations will be submitted by the student, faculty advisor, and business representative. The advisor and supporting faculty strive to assure a quality experience for all participants through an analysis of the evaluations and review of the overall internship process.
The faculty advisor's responsibilities include:
- Providing an overview of the internship process through an orientation session.
- Providing a course syllabus for the student.
- Providing a learning objective agreement for the student.
- Monitoring the student's progress through weekly log reports provided by the student.
- Assigning a final grade based on the student's completion of the requirements of the internship and course syllabus, based on the weekly reports, a final report, and any additional requirements designated by the faculty advisor.
