How are Internships
Approved by the Dept?

The basic qualifications for an internship sponsored by the department are: Juniors or Seniors with a minimum GPA of 3.0.  The student will be expected to work at least 120 hours for the semester (8-10 hours per week).  The Career Development Center (CDC) maintains internships in a password-protected area of the Center’s web site called eRecruiting. Students must attend a eRecruiting Activation Meeting to access these internship listings.

Grading:

Professor Kressel will be the overall evaluator of the student’s internship.

The Overall Requirements Include:

§         Internship supervisors will complete an evaluation form towards the end of the semester that rates the intern’s performance.  These ratings are considered in deciding whether intern performance warrants a satisfactory grade.

§         Students will meet in a classroom setting and participate in a presentation at the end of the semester.

§         The student’s final grade will be base upon their site supervisor’s evaluation and Professor Kressel’s evaluation of all materials the student produced in the course of the internship, including journals and a final paper.
