LOCAL INTERNSHIPS
The University offers outstanding internship experiences in Washington-area corporations, government agencies, schools, hospitals, and retail establishments. Often the internship leads to permanent employment with the same organization after graduation.
The internship is identified by the student with the assistance of a supervising faculty member. Firms and agencies sponsoring the intern are expected to provide a supervised, structured, and suitable experience consistent with the student’s major field.
All students who have advanced in their major are required to complete a minimum of 6 credits of internship. Waiver of this requirement may be authorized by the dean of the School on the presentation of compelling evidence. If a waiver is obtained, coursework at the 300-400 level in courses within the major will be substituted for the internship.
Students interested in finding out more about specific internships should consult with their School’s academic advisors.
