  • The option of either 9 or 15 credits for the internship.
  • Three elective credits of INST 492 Internship Seminar for the major "without specialized concentration" and up to 6 elective credits in the major's four concentrations.
  • Up to 15 credit hours counted toward the 120 hours needed for graduation.
  • A great line on your resume showing that you worked and went to school at the same time.


If you are interested in experiencing a challenging and rewarding summer exploring career options, see Dr. Boniece as soon as possible. The best internship sites are claimed early!
