Credits
Internship
Can I get credit for doing an internship?
It will depend on your department, but you may be able to! Some departments require prerequisites before they allow their students to get internship credit, but others do not. Departments also have a range on how many credits you can be awarded for an internship, as well as how many you can potentially count in your major as an elective. Please see your advisor for details.
Generally, 1 credit of internship is equivalent to 45 hours of work. Thus, a 3-credit internship would require you to put in at least 135 hours per semester/summer.
How can I get an internship?
We have a Career Café on campus that helps students explore internship opportunities and posts openings year-round. You can visit them in ST 177 or schedule an appointment with a Career Coach by going here: https://sars.suu.edu/eSARS/CareerAssessment/eSARS.asp.
Also, your department faculty can be great resources on internship opportunities. Make sure that you speak with them when you’re conducting your search.
