Internship Requirements

• The intern must have completed ACCTG301 and ACCTG321 with at least a C- prior to the start of the internship.
• The work the intern does must be accounting work (some common types of work that are NOT approved include bank telling, selling insurance, purchasing, marketing).
• The internship cannot take place working for a BYUI campus entity.
• The intern must do accounting work for at least 20 hours each week (the intern may work more hours than 20 in a week, but not less).
• The intern must be supervised by an accounting professional (this supervisor does not need to be a CPA, but they must be someone with experience in doing the work).
• The intern must accumulate at least 270 hours of internship during the course of one BYUI academic semester (the intern may work more than 270 hours, but this is the minimum number of hours to receive credit). The exception to this is during the summer seven-week break when the 270 hours may be accumulated in that seven-week period.
• Internships for the accounting department are for three (3) credits only.
• The intern should receive prior approval from the internship advisor prior to accepting the internship.
• Please note that BYUI students are encouraged to receive as much experience as possible. Companies and institutions may post openings for interns within their organizations and BYUI students may work in the capacity of an intern within the organization, even if the student does not receive academic credit for the experience.
• To complete an Internship Approval form go to: IPlan.byui.edu. After the internship is approved, each student will need to register for the course through the normal registration process.
• ACCTG398R is a university course and requirements must be completed to receive credit. An ILearn course will be available on the first day of the semester. Each student is responsible to read the syllabus, understand and complete the assignments prior to the deadlines.
• ACCTG398R may be repeated once for credit. The second experience may be with the same organization as the first experience.
• The intern must be compensated at minimum wage or higher. No volunteer internships are accepted for credit.

Internships can be great opportunities, whether you receive academic credit for them or not. The accounting department does not attempt to dictate where and when you work; however, please be aware that there are specific requirements to receive academic credit for the internship. These requirements are discussed with you in ACCTG275 and (in addition to being available in the catalog and on the department web page) are listed above.

Several students have had their requests for internship credit denied because the requirements have not been met for them to receive internship credit for the work they do.

Please note that the internship requirement will not be waived later because of work or an internship you did previously, even if the experience may have met the requirements for an approved internship if prerequisites had been met. You will have to complete an internship for academic credit to meet graduation requirements.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Regarding internships for the Art Department, here is a generic list of requirements for internships to count for credit and some steps to complete in order to be authorized to add the online class during your actual internship experience (note: we now use the i-plan system to apply, and there should be instructions on the www.byui.edu/internships site for this):

Pre-Requisites:

1. All students need to complete all Freshman and Sophomore classes before starting their internship. Graphic design students must have successfully completed the Art 130, 230, and 235 classes before applying for an internship. Other majors within the Art Dept. must consult with a faculty in their area of emphasis for specific prerequisites (some are required to have completed Art 110 etc.).

Duration/Timing of Internship Experience:

1. You must work a minimum of 100 hours for each credit hour you sign up for. You may continue to work beyond that amount as long as you meet your credit hour requirement.
2. You must work at least 7 consecutive weeks.
3. Internships can fall outside the traditional semester timeline. (Meaning they can start or end before or after a semester starts or ends)
4. Internships can be completed during the full semester immediately after a students' last semester of coursework at BYU-Idaho. No internships can be completed after that for credit unless the student re-enrolls as a full-time student and completes the internship after re-enrolling as a student. 
5. Generally, internships shouldn't extend too much beyond a typical semester timeline (about 14 weeks). In order to comply with our 3 track system, taking more than 1 semester off at a time could be detrimental to a students' graduation plan.  

Internship Experience Requirements:

1. Internships can be paid OR unpaid.
2. You must work in the field you are studying (Illustrators should find an illustration internship, graphic designers must find a design internship, etc.) No copy spot internships or Disneyland janitorial internships etc.
3. During Covid19 restrictions, we are allowing students to work either on-site or remotely per employer preference and local protocols. When Covid restrictions are lifted, the typical rule for internships is that onsite work is required and remote or online internships are not normally permitted.
4. You must be physically supervised by a professional with a Bachelor's degree in your area of emphasis AND who has at least 5 years of professional experience in the field. (Freelance jobs or work for hire by non-designers/artists do not qualify as internship experiences) Exceptions to this will need to be approved by a faculty from your area of emphasis.

Finding Your Internship:

1. BYU Idaho maintains a webpage dedicated to internships. Information tips on finding an internship experience can be found here:  http://www.byui.edu/internships/finding-an-internship
2. Students will want to consult with multiple faculty in their area of emphasis for additional leads or suggestions on possible internship experiences. It is wise to select a city or geographical area as a starting point based upon available housing etc. Other options include looking at national internships for your specific area of emphasis see: http://www.internships.com/art. or visit the AIGA.org for Graphic Design internship listing. 
3. Graphic designers can look at design jobs.aiga.org, coroflot.com/design-jobs, www.authenticjobs.com, behance.net/joblist, www.designobserver.com/jobs, www.krop.com.
4. It is recommended that students from different emphasis areas contact one or more of the faculty from their emphasis area for help with finding an internship opportunity. Faculty from emphasis areas are as follows:  3D: Kody Keller kellerw@byui.edu, Hyrum Benson bensonh@byui.edu; 2D: Carla Jimison jimisonc@byui.edu Nolan Parson PARSONN@byui.edu, Josh Hobbs hobbsj@byui.edu; Art History: Sharon Duque duques@byui.edu; Photography: Brian Atkinson AtkinsonB@byui.edu, Darren Clark CLARKD@byui.edu; Illustration: Joshua Abegglen abegglenj@byui.edu, Wade Huntsman huntsmanw@byui.edu; Graphic Design: Tim Howe Howet@byui.edu, Scott Franson fransons@byui.edu, Brian Memmott memmottb@byui.edu, Shawn Randall randalls@byui.edu.

On-Campus Internships:

1. Consider the purpose of an internship experience. Students typically report a much richer and deeper experience when serving in a legitimate internship outside of the university campus environment. Internships are meant to provide learning opportunities and experience students are unable to get on-campus. Consider this carefully when choosing your internship experience. We advise students to only choose an on-campus internship when circumstances prevent an off-campus option (such as a spouse being on-track during your scheduled internship, pregnancy, financial circumstances, etc.) 
2. For a list of approved On-Campus internships, please contact the Academic Discovery Center Internship office: internships@byui.edu

How to Apply:

1. Consult with the Internship Coordinator BEFORE completing your online internship application and before the start of your internship (Bro. Randall randalls@byui.edu). The coordinator will need to know that your internship meets the requirements in the Duration and Experience Requirements sections above. Please email your internship coordinator and let them know who your experience provider is, your supervisors’ name, their title, and years of experience and degree held. Also, include a brief description of what you expect to do during this internship.
2. Submit your online application through the i-plan system at http://www.byui.edu/iplan Once approved, you will be added or authorized to add the online Art 498R class. You are required to visit the online class at the start of the semester the bulk of your internship spans and read the syllabus and all course requirements carefully. Requirements include: keeping a daily blog, updating your resume, requesting a letter of recommendation from your employer, writing a summary paper after the internship, and filling out online evaluations (both you and your provider).
3. Once your application is submitted. We will use the email you included for your employer to send them a “Master Agreement”. This agreement must be returned before we can complete the enrollment in the online internship course. If your course doesn’t appear and the semester has started, check with your employer to see if they received a “Master Agreement” email. If not, reach out to the internship office internships@byui.edu to have them resend. Verify the email address on record is correct. 

Online Art 498R class:

1. Once your internship is approved you will be enrolled in the online internship course. 
2. You must visit the course at the start of the semester that falls during your internship. (The course will not be available until the first day of classes of that semester).
3. Students will need to review all assignments in the course (they are simple and not very time consuming) and complete them in a timely manner
4. There is a daily blog required for all students to be completed during the agreed-upon credit hours signed up for. Students are only required to complete the daily blog requirement during their agreed-upon credit hours (1 credit = 100hrs, 2 credits = 200 hrs, etc.). 
5. Once your agreed-upon internship hours are completed, students must submit all required assignments (summary paper, updated resume, etc.) before the semester ends.   
6. Students who fail to hand in missing assignments before the semester ends will receive a 0 or F grade in the internship course. Students who receive an F can appeal by submitting all outstanding assignments to Bro. Randall for review.

Please see this page for information about Biology Internships.

Internship Considerations

• Does the internship provide an opportunity for you to develop and gain new skills beyond classroom learning that will be marketable upon graduation?
• Do you see yourself working long-term for this company or a similar company?
• Is the internship with a legitimate business where the experience itself is marketable to future employers?
• Will you have a mentor within the organization as well as other networking opportunities?

Department Site

• An internship is required for graduation.
• It is counted as a one-credit class, CHEM498.
• An internship is a learning experience where you develop technical and interpersonal skills relevant to the chemical/biochemical industry.
• Making photocopies or washing glassware at a chemical company is not a good internship for you and the department will not approve it.
• Internships typically last between 8 and 12 weeks of full-time work.
• A minimum of 280 hrs. of laboratory work are required (7 weeks, full-time).
• Internships in chemistry and biochemistry are typically paid and some provide help with housing and relocation.
• An internship is easier to get if you have previous work experience.
• Apply early and apply often.
• It is your responsibility to find and get an internship.
• You should start applying for internships as soon as you have completed general chemistry 106 with its lab.
• Taking chemistry 220 and its lab is perhaps the best preparation for most internships. Take that class as early as possible. It will help you look better on the application.
• Students who complete their internship early can get a second internship with better pay or with a more prestigious company/university.
• Large corporations typically prefer to hire people with more than one internship.
• Working with a chemistry department faculty on an extra-curricular project is also a great way to build your resume make your application stand out.
• If you think you have a 10% chance of getting an internship, then you should apply to at least 10 different internships to have a reasonable chance to get one.

CSE 398   |    Computer Science & Software Engineering

Welcome to the Computer Science & Software Engineering Internship Information page. Below is common questions we have about our internship program. In addition, the links below provide additional information and answers to further questions.

• Be a full-time paid employee for about a semester. It does not matter if your internship fits exactly over a semester, but it does matter that you do 400-500 hours (12-14 weeks at 35-40 hours a week) throughout a semester. We want you to be immersed in the professional environment, so you can come back to your last two semesters better prepared to know what you need to do to transition from academics to professional upon graduation.
• Recommend Number of Credits: 1. Class is variable credit, and we recommend that you take it as one credit, but you can use general elective credits to increase it to 3. Unfortunately, the school only allows a max of 6 internship credits you can use as part of your degree. Once set, it is complicated to change, so plan according.
• Plan to do your internship at the end of your junior year. For some, the best fit is the off-semester; others might be during the last semester of junior year to take the semester off and do an internship. Yes, we feel confident you are academically ready for an internship. Start planning before your junior year by doing job-finding activities. The school (registration and financial aid) considers you a full-time student (with some minor paperwork) while doing an internship.
• We prefer that you find a paid internship. An unpaid internship is usually considered a Sr. Project and is typically around 100-120 hours or more. Your skills are high value, don’t sell yourself short. If you decide on an unpaid internship, make sure you learn something more valuable than pay.
• Be similar to your target job. Think about the job you want upon graduation. Your internship should be as identical to that job as possible. By school policy, the job must be related to your major. It can also be a related field if you want to explore that possibility before you commit. General litmus test does it have a programming aspect.
• Be a new position for you. It would be best if you learned something new;  a new position at your current job could count if it relates to your degree. Bear in mind that having multiple job experiences could benefit you when you graduate unless you plan to stay and get promoted at your current job. Finding new employment is another option.
• Have a mentor. Your boss or project manager should be more knowledgeable about your job than you. Working for a family business or start-up needs careful consideration.
• Remote work is an option. With the increase of opportunities, remote work is an option if the company offers it.

Prerequisites

• CSE 310 - Applied Programming (4)

Initial Report

The report must include objectives agreed upon by the intern and employer such as the general nature of the work, timelines, outcomes, and assessments, along with the intern’s personal goals.

Final Written Report

This 3-5-page report will be due two weeks after the internship ends. The report should include an accounting of the work accomplished, an analysis of what has been learned, and a description of possible career changes or insights as a result of the internship. Copies of the weekly log report should also be included.

Employer Evaluation

It is expected that the supervisor fills out a one-page evaluation form and provides the student with a letter of recommendation.

Oral Presentation

This presentation must be completed before the student graduates. The student will be invited to share a PowerPoint presentation of their internship experience during the dance majors’ meeting held each semester.

Internship Considerations

An internship is a powerful way to explore possible career paths and apply your education to real-life situations.

Firms visit the Department of Design and Construction Management every week of the semester to recruit students for internship positions. Attending seminars and participating in the student society are great ways to network and find internships. It is the student’s responsibility to find an internship.

Two internships are required for all Design and Construction Management students seeking a bachelor’s degree. It is suggested that students give prayerful consideration to the type of firm and industry they work for since 80% of our students receive full time job offers during their second internship. If this is a 498 internship, do you see yourself working for this company after graduation?

Does the company have a reputable internship program and provide a dedicated mentor to help you have a successful learning experience?

Getting Approved for Const 298 and Const 498

All Construction Management internships must be pre-approved and registered for before a student begins their internship experience. To be approved:

1. Students need to complete the necessary prerequisites and complete an internship approval form. For Internship Registration visit byui.edu/IPlan, login, and click on the “Internship Approval” tabs.

2. All internships should be 40 hours per week for at least 14 weeks (1 semester) in duration or a total of 560 hours. All internships are for 1 credit. Internships must be related to design and construction and cannot be direct sales, working for another student, or working for themselves.

3. After approval, a master agreement will be emailed to the internship provider.

4. It is then the student's responsibility to ensure that their internship provider signs and submits the master agreement to I-plan. Most firms that recruit on campus for internships have previously signed this form.

5. International students need to make sure they receive their I-20 with the CPT approval with the correct dates of the internship before they start working. If they decide to extend their internship, students must make sure they submit a request in Synapsis.

6. After approval it is the student’s responsibility to register for the internship course. There are assignments that must be completed with a minimum grade of C-, to receive credit for the internship. The department reserves the right to deny any internship not meeting the requirements.

Internships After Course Work (last semester)

Students are only allowed to do their internship as their last semester if they meet one of the following conditions: 1) Student has a full-time offer after graduation with the company where the internship will take place. A written and accepted offer must be presented to the Department Chair and attached to the internship application. 2) Students transferred into one of the DCM degree programs with 30 or more credits. This will be evident by the number of "unused" credits on the student's degree audit. 3) If a student has been on fast-grad, the student may be allowed to do the internship last.

Visit the Design and Construction Management Course on I-learn (Canvas) for more details. Follow the Internships link.

Finding an Internship

Q: Okay now that I’m considering an internship when in my college career should I think about doing an internship?

A: Traditionally, internships are usually done in the break between the junior and senior years. Typically, some companies will only offer internships during the summer break. However, BYU-I students sometimes have an advantage in that they can work during their off-track, which might be during what is traditionally a fall or winter semester.

Q: When do I have to start looking for an internship?

A: It is best to begin looking for an internship at least a year out from the semester you actually want to work at the internship. Check for information like application dates, duration of the internship, special considerations, etc. If you want to do an international internship that time frame needs to expand to eighteen months away from the semester you want to do in the internship. International internships require administrative permission beyond the department supervision, so be prepared for some resistance.

Q: Will the English Department find my internship for me?

A: No. While the internship coordinator might have a list of people who have called about an internship, you are responsible for finding your own internship.

Q: Where do I look for an internship?

A: Everywhere. Places to start include Career Navigator, which has a link on the BYU-Idaho website. Career Navigator has a list of places that have previously taken BYU-Idaho interns, and employers will sometimes list internships on that site. Another place is the Internships & Career Services office (208-496-9827 or internships@byui.edu). Check out the Career Fair every semester for companies that are looking for interns. If you start going early and you talk to the same people every time you go, they will know your name and be more inclined to help you find an internship.

Service missionaries are also in place in several larger cities. They can sometimes help you with contacts and often have contact with Young Single Adult wards in that area as an additional resource.

Also, check out places in your hometown or city in which you want to intern. Do your parents/ siblings/family work for a bigger corporation? Do those companies have interns? What about your local businesses or non-profits? Is there a political candidate or a political party that you feel strongly about? What about the local library? Do they have an internship program? What about your local museum? Using resources such as LinkedIn and your own personal networking are also ways to locate possible internship opportunities.

Q: Can I teach English In China and have that count toward an internship?

A: No. Teaching English in a foreign country will not count toward an internship. While it may be a powerful experience, it lacks some of the accountability to supervision required for an internship.

Q: I have to stay in Rexburg and every opportunity here is maxed out. What can I do?

A: Another option you may want to consider is the Applied Learning Projects. Companies have contacted BYU-Idaho with projects. Students work on those projects and get real-world experience working on the project. Check out the ALPS page at http://www.byui.edu/alps You may want to talk to the English internship coordinator if you decide this is an option you wish to pursue. Or you can find out further information by reaching out to the Research and Business Development Center here in Rexburg: www.rbdcenter.org or 208-356-5009.

Q: But I’m an English major! What kinds of jobs can I do with an English degree—especially in the corporate world?

A: For English majors, this is always a confusing and sometimes stressful question. Think about being an English major in terms of the skills you acquire as an English major. If you have trouble thinking of those skills, I-Plan has a section called Education Strategy. It measures interest and filters through 900 plus occupations based on the level of interest. Once you’ve gotten a list of possible occupations, you can click on the occupation to see the list of skills needed for that occupation. Those skills are based on the U.S Department of Labor statistics. You can then decide what kinds of skills you have and what kind of skills you might need to acquire. You can take this interest survey as often as you like and look at a variety of jobs every time.

More immediately, think about how the skills you have are needed in business. For instance, major corporations often have a company newsletter or magazine. Does that group need interns? What about the presentations a company does, does that group need an intern? What about the human resources department? Who writes their training manuals? What about a usability testing department? Who takes care of their social media presence, including things like Twitter and the Web? Does the company have a blog? Who writes those entries? Does the company have a web page that explains its products or services? Who writes those entries?

Q: Do I get paid for a work experience to count as an internship?

A: No. In fact, you should probably assume that you’re not going to get paid. Many, if not most, English internships are unpaid. Getting paid is a bonus but isn’t necessary for the work experience to count as an internship.

Q: What qualities should an internship have?

A: Hours: We expect you to work a minimum of 70 hours per credit that you want to earn and the university expects you to work a minimum of 7 weeks. For those of us who are math-challenged, that means that 70 hours X 3 credits = 210 hours of work. That usually works out to 15 hours a week for a typical 14-week semester. (Because disasters happen, plan on working a little more to make sure you meet the minimum). You can always work more hours for less credit, but we expect a minimum of 70 hours per credit that you earn.

A qualified supervisor/mentor: One of the purposes of the internship is to help the intern advance in his or her skills. For that, you need a qualified supervisor/mentor who will look at your work, provide helpful and accurate feedback, help you correct any problems or mistakes, and help you be better at the end than you were at the beginning of your internship. They should be experienced in their field in order to provide this feedback. This particular requirement is especially important during an online internship. The internship coordinator will typically ask how you and the mentor will communicate, whether you have an established meeting time or communication system in place, and in what ways will the mentor assign and assess your work.

Some English Skills should be involved: However, those skills don’t necessarily have to be writing—or at least only writing. English majors have skills in analyzing data, researching, sorting data, reading and thinking critically, and organizing data and information.

Q: Can I do an internship during the 7-week summer session?

A: No. The English department typically doesn’t offer internships during the summer session. You can, however, work a longer internship if you tie it into the previous or following semester. For instance, you can start work in June and work through the 7-week summer session or start in July and finish in October.

Q: Can I use my on-campus job for an internship?

A: The answer is usually no, but it can be a maybe. English TA jobs can’t qualify as an internship. Most on-campus jobs that count as an internship have been pre-approved and there are no currently pre-approved English internships on campus. Typically, on-campus jobs are only 20 hours per week, and on-campus jobs qualifying for an internship usually require 40 hours a week of work. Also, if you use a previous/current job as an internship, you must have increased responsibilities or different tasks, so that you can show development and progress and it more adequately reflects your learning.

If, however, you have a job where your supervisor can give you additional responsibilities outside the scope of your usual job (such as a special project) or additional funds to pay for more work. You may want to explore this possibility as an internship. This usually involves getting permission from the internship coordinator of your department, and approval by the Internships and Career Services Director. Come and see the English Department internship coordinator first. He or she can help you know how to get approval from the Internships and Career Services Director.

Q: Can I use working for the Scroll as an internship?

A: No. However, working for the Scroll is a great way to increase your skills. It can’t count as an internship for English 398R credit, but you can work at the Scroll as elective credit. It’s another great way to practice writing skills and gain some practical experience.

I Found an Internship, Now What?

Q: Company X agreed to hire me. Now, what do I need to do?

A: You need to fill out an internship approval form on I-Plan. It’s called Internship Approval. You will need to know basic information, such as the name of your supervisor, his or her email, and phone number. You will also be asked how many credit hours you wish to register for.

One of the important things here is the number of credits for which you wish to register. Remember that you have 70 hours of work per credit hour you want. If you’re only going to work 10 hours for 14 weeks, that’s only 140 hours. That means you can only register for at most 2 credit hours. One of the fastest ways to hang up the approval process is to ignore or miss the hours worked and the credit issued.

Q: Company X agreed to hire me. What do they need to do now?

A: If company X has had previous BYU-Idaho interns, they probably don’t need to do anything more than assign you a mentor/supervisor.

However, if you are lucky enough to be company X’s first BYU-Idaho intern, Company X must fill out the Master Agreement. The Master Agreement can be found on the Career Navigator page. The Master Agreement provides assurance for both parties, both Company X and BYU-Idaho, that this internship is legitimate and covers areas of liability for both parties.

Q: I’ve submitted my approval form. Why can’t I register for classes yet?

A: Once you’ve submitted your approval form, it goes to two places. The first place it goes is to the University Internship Office, where they check to make sure the Master Agreement is in place. The Master Agreement must be signed before you can register for classes.

The second place the approval goes is to the Internship Coordinator. Most internship coordinators have irregular schedules for checking the approval list, so your application might be delayed. You might also want to make an appointment with the Internship Coordinator at this point to make sure any question the Internship Coordinator has can be easily answered.

Once the Master Agreement is in place and the Internship, you should receive an email that authorizes you to register for English 398R.

Q: The email says I can register for 1-6 credits. What does that mean? How many credits should I register for?

A: English 398R is a variable credit class. That means you can register for as many credits as you would like for a total of 6 credits. Remember the formula: 70 hours of work per credit earned if you would like to register for 3 credits, you must work a minimum of 210 hours. If you’re working 40 hours a week for 14 weeks, you may register for as many as 6 credits. You can always work more hours for less credit, but the minimums must be met.

Something to consider is your 120 credit hours limit if you want 398R to count as an elective and count toward your general English electives and you’re having a hard time coming up with English classes to take, you probably want to register for 3 credits.

However, if you have way too many classes you want to take, but you need the internship to appear on your transcript, you may want to register for 1 credit.

Consider this question carefully. Making adjustments after the semester is impossible, and making adjustments during the semester becomes extremely complex. It’s easier to add credits than to subtract them.

During the internship, what do I have to do?

Q: What else do I have to do during the semester besides work at the internship?

A: In order to fulfill the requirements of the internship class, you need to submit weekly reports, a reflective essay, a portfolio of representative work, and two evaluations.

Q: What are the weekly reports?

A: The weekly reports consist of a short, typed page, usually submitted through Canvas or email (if Canvas isn’t available or you’re working weeks somehow out of the semester). The weekly report should detail how many hours you’ve worked, what you did, and what you learned as a result of what you did. These weekly reports will give you the resources for the reflective essay.

Q: What is the reflective essay?

A: The reflective essay is between 4-10 pages, typed in MLA or APA style (whichever you used during your internship), double spaced. It is a personal, essay in which you, the intern, reflect on the experiences and opportunities you’ve been exposed to. This essay should help you (and the internship coordinator) see what you’ve learned and should highlight the value of the experience.

Q: What is the portfolio?

A: The portfolio should be a sample of representative work. You may want to include different kinds of work you’ve done, work you’ve done well, work that shows progress such as something you did early in the internship, and something you did toward the end that shows growth. Make sure you check to see if it is appropriate to share the material, although you can redact some information if necessary. The only person seeing this portfolio will be the internship coordinator if you submit it on paper, although you may want to use this work to show a potential employer someday.

Make sure that your work is labeled, and that you’ve clearly identified what kind of document you’ve included, what skills the document is demonstrating, and why this document is important. You’ll probably want to do a short introduction to most, if not all, of the document.

Q: Is the portfolio a paper portfolio or an online portfolio?

A: You can submit the portfolio in the medium that is most easy for you. Consider making this portfolio part of your professional portfolio, including items on LinkedIn, a Wix or Weebly version, or some other digital version.

Q: Why two evaluations?

A: One evaluation is done by you about you and your experience. The other evaluation is submitted by your supervisor about you and your work. The supervisor will receive the evaluation as a link in an email from the internship office. Your evaluation is linked to your Canvas class.

1 credit = 100 hours
2 credits = 200 hours

Registration

Students will register for HUM 398R to complete the internship.

Timing

Students complete this optional Capstone experience preferably between their Junior and Senior years. As a non-work-study experience, therefore, internships are not intended to be completed between semesters. Rather, they are viewed as an after-hours, part/full-time experience, and are more likely to be available outside the BYU-Idaho area. However, a few on-campus internships have been approved (mainly in the Spori Art Gallery).

Internships should have responsibilities that pertain directly to the broader Humanities/Liberal Arts, with particular emphasis on gaining experience and skills in future career-related paths and fields.

Students should work closely with a mentor in the organization (Experience Provider) for whom they are working.

Preparation

Before registering for HUM 398R, reassure that the following items are in order:

• Research prospective internship opportunities (210-hour minimum requirement for 3 credits).
• Schedule and meet with the Humanities Internship Coordinator to gain preliminary approval.
• Officially secure the internship position.
• Familiarize yourself with the Internship requirements, specifically the Internship Journal you will keep documenting your experiences, which you will submit to the Internship Coordination at regular intervals throughout the duration of your internship experience. Journals are to be submitted twice-monthly via email and should address the 4 specific outcomes as outlined in the course syllabus (and above). Photographs are encouraged.

*It is required that you meet with the Internship Coordinator, prior to securing an internship, to discuss possible internship ideas and to ensure a smoother registration process.

Registration

You will register for your internship via I-Plan, the new BYU-Idaho online academic planning tool.

To learn how to register through I-Plan, click the button below and follow the directions. After submitting the internship registration through I-Plan, your form will be sent to the Internship Coordinator for approval. After the approved registration form is processed, you will receive an email from the University Internship office notifying you that you are then approved to register for 1-3 credits of HUM 398R.

NOTE: If you are the first BYU-Idaho intern to work under your Experience Provider, that particular organization MUST complete a one-time, online Master Internship Agreement. This agreement must be signed and on file in the Academic Discovery Center prior to the start of the internship experience.

Registration Instruction

A student is eligible to receive university credit for their engineering technology employment if it meets the following criteria:

1. Type of Work: The experience must be engineering or engineering technology-related work.
2. Supervision: The student must work under the mentorship of an engineer, engineering technologist, or similar person who can provide engineering technology-related training and work experience.
3. Hours: We recommend that internships be full-time for an entire semester totaling between 400-600 hours (40 hrs/wk for 10-16 weeks).  To qualify for internship credit, the student must work for a minimum of 280 hours (20 hrs/wk for 14 weeks or 40 hrs/wk for 7 weeks).
4. Performance: The student’s job performance will be assessed by an evaluation to be completed by the supervisor.
5. Outcomes: Each student must meet the outcomes for the course.  The course outcomes and how they will be assessed are listed below.
6. Closure: Students will be required to bring closure to their work experience by providing a video summarizing the experience. Guidelines for the video are provided below.
7. Degree progress: Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are all eligible to receive internship credit if their experience meets the eligibility requirements and outcomes. We have purposely placed key courses in the first year of the curriculum that would qualify a young engineering technology student for significant engineering technology work. We have also discovered that companies who are willing to pay a significant wage for interns are very capable of deciding who is a sufficiently qualified candidate for the job – who they choose to hire is their business. Since one of the main outcomes of the internship is to help students discover their interests and aptitudes. What better time for this self-discovery than when a student is young in the program and can use what they learn to guide their future education. I have witnessed many freshmen and sophomores obtain excellent engineering technology-related work experience which has greatly affected the rest of their schooling.

200 hours - 1 credit | 300 hours - 2 credits | 400 hours - 3 credits

Students must perform work in occupational safety, industrial hygiene, environmental health, or a very closely related discipline.

Internships can be found on job-search websites, and opportunities are occasionally posted in our BYU-I student society's I-Learn course (Industrial Hygiene & Safety Society).

Environmental Health	HS 450 - Environmental Sanitation (HS 310 is also recommended)

International Student Internship Requirements

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.

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.

Physics Internships

The Physics Department requires either a professional internship or a senior thesis research experience. We strongly encourage the Internship rather than the thesis research. The Internship provides the student with job experience in a physics-related field. Also, an internship provides a broader menu of experiences than we are able to provide locally. In addition, students will have the opportunity to network with professionals at other institutions and other interns, developing a broader set of experiences than is possible in the senior research class.

All internships in the Physics Department provide 1 credit and is repeatable (once) for a total of two internship credits.

Requirements

1. The Physics Department requires a 40 hour/week, 10-week length internship (approximately 400 total hours). The Department Internship Coordinator can modify this requirement under certain conditions.  Talk to the Coordinator if your internship does not meet this criterion.
2. The Internship must begin by mid-term time during a regularly scheduled semester. It can extend into the 7 week Summer break.
3. The Internship must be in a physics-related field (i.e., physics, astronomy, engineering, medical physics, etc). Exceptions can be granted if the internship is directly related to the field that the student plans to pursue after graduating with their degree.  Consult with the Coordinator before accepting and applying for the internship if it is not in a physics-related field.
4. The Internship should be a new position for you, not an extension of a previous job.
5. The Internship must provide a full-time professional mentor.
6. Although most physics internships are paid experiences, a volunteer internship is also acceptable.
7. The Internship Coordinator must approve all internship applications. If you are not sure if an internship qualifies, talk to the Coordinator before applying.
