New Internship Course -- INTN 291

INTN 291 is a general internship seminar course – 3 credits- The requirement for the onsite internship hours is 135 hours.  (In addition, the coursework will average about an hour and a half a week.)

*      INTN 291 is meant for a students who are exploring an area and want a hands-on experience or for students who know what they want, but their program or area of interest does not offer an internship.
*      It is always important to review the student’s goals and major to see that this course will fit within their program.

*      The pre-requisites for INTN 291 are 18 college level credits and a GPA of 2.5 or higher. (These requirements are based on the idea that the student is mature and academic enough for an internship.)
*      The course is never to be a replacement for other internships, co-ops, etc. within a specific program (RE-BUS 291)

*      Some wonderful things about this course include the following:
§  The student will work on professionalism, self-awareness, networking, LinkedIn, social media awareness, company, corporate and career research, develop a resume and utilize an e-portfolio.

For the process, the student will always need to contact Wendy Gillman before enrollment.  In addition, we will direct students to College Central Network for an internship and we will look to identify internships that can meet course qualifications for INTN 291.
