It is designed to help students build on skills already learned in the classroom and to acquire new ones. Students have the opportunity to integrate theory and practice and to gain professional experience. An internship for credit consists of 240 hours of contact time at the job placement site. Customarily, this consists of two 8-hour workdays for the 15-week fall or spring semester or six 40-hour weeks during the summer. Students may take no more that one internship for credit towards their degree. The student works with an academic advisor prior to registration to identify a suitable placement. A learning contract is developed by the student and the advisor in collaboration with the placement mentor. The student keeps a journal of the experience, documenting the fulfillment of the learning contract objectives. The placement mentor signs off on the journal and submits an evaluation of the student at the conclusion of the placement. The student is assigned a grade of "P" or "F.
