Internships

International internships must meet a higher standard and require special handling due to potential risks associated with travel/living outside the U.S. Please be aware that this process will take several weeks and you must submit your request sufficiently in advance to allow time for this. Not all international internship requests are approved, so any expenditures made prior to final approval and authorization for credit may be done at the risk of not receiving internship credit for the experience in the event that your internship is denied. Such expenditures might include pre-paid travel, lodging, and program participation costs.

These guidelines are intended to provide students with high-quality experiences, comparable to off-campus internships. Students will be able to focus on gaining valuable skills, rather than trying to juggle the demands of work and school simultaneously.

On-campus internships should be driven by the department, rather than a student’s request. The department should identify a need, determine if a qualified supervisor is available to oversee the student, and then submit a request.

Clinics, doctor’s offices, gyms, or therapy and rehabilitation centers, etc., do not have these requirements. For those please use the Standard Internship Type.
