Internships

It is never to soon to be thinking about an internship. Network, ask questions, and research. The more exposure you have to various settings and populations, the easier it will be to decide where you will want that capstone experience.

International Student Internship Requirements

1. 1. In addition to the standard requirements for internships, our international students must receive approval from the International Office as well. Without their approval they will not be authorized to register for the class which is what triggers the International Office to generate a CPT for the student so that they may work legally in the United States.
   2. International students who do not receive approval from the International Student office before starting to work at an internship will lose their international student visa.
