Internship Notes

Two internships are required and are formal one-unit courses counting toward graduation. Students may have the opportunity to complete their first internship in the spring semester of the sophomore year or the second semester of their junior year. The Center for International Education offers many exciting opportunities to complete an internship as part of a study abroad semester.
