Students may register for 1 credit and spend 40 hours in the internship; 2 credits and spend 80 hours in the internship; or 3 credits and spend 120 hours in the internship. Internships will be designed and arranged in collaboration with the course instructor, and students must secure the internship through application to the internship sponsor.

Since most internship opportunities will require travel, students will be responsible for their own transportation.
