Program Structure
You'll enroll in an internship program that includes an academic course and an internship placement. Your internship course meets for 45 hours. You’ll spend an additional 25-30 hours per week at your 6-week internship placement. Together, your course and internship placement are worth 6 credits/ 245 hours).
Your internship placement hours may take place Monday-Friday; the exact time of day and days of the week will be determined after you arrive.
The majority of internships require a video or in-person interview with the employer before placement is confirmed. All placements will be confirmed upon arrival and will each have their own set of internship guidelines for the position. We'll do our best, but we can't guarantee placement at a particular site.
We strongly recommend that you apply as soon as possible. Internship positions are both limited in availability and competitive; employers give priority to those who submit early!
