Although the Internship Coordinator is available to guide you in locating possible internship opportunities, the responsibility of obtaining the internship and completing all course requirements belongs to the student.
DEFINITION:
An internship is a credit-bearing elective, or required (depending on the academic department) course, which takes place outside the classroom in an actual work setting under the supervision of a professional. Internships are offered to juniors and seniors who have completed basic coursework in their major. Internships are available within most academic disciplines at Trevecca. (Course # 4510)
- Internships require you to plan ahead.
- The best internship sites require your application information one semester prior to working your actual internship.
- Talk to the internship coordinator the semester before you plan to work.
TO QUALIFY:
In order to qualify for an internship, the following guidelines must be met:
- You must be a Junior or Senior in good standing with the college. No student may be enrolled in the internship program if he/she is on probation.
- You must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above.
- Internships must be directly related to your major or occupational goal, and approved by a faculty sponsor in your department prior to registration. (Registration approval slips may be obtained from the Internship Coordinator in the Career & Counseling Center.)
- Your employer must be willing to enter into the "Learning Contract" with Trevecca Nazarene University.
You may NOT use prior work experience as a current internship.
