Internships
Internships are work experiences that may be linked to an academic department or done independently. Internships are a great way for students to confirm their choice of major, future career, and gain practical work experience. Internships may be done concurrently while a student is carrying a full time academic course load or may be done during the summer.

Paid Internships
Paid internships are usually done independently by students to supplement their formal education and gain practical work experience. Paid Internships may be done full-time or part-time during the summer or part-time during the semester. Students who participate in paid internships may receive compensation; however, they may not be eligible to earn academic credit. Compensation is usually a salaried position, but it may also be considered a stipend, travel allowance, housing, food, etc.
Academic Internships
Academic internships are done under the guidance and supervision of an appointed faculty member assigned within each particular major. Students participate in academic internships while they carry a full or part-time student course load. Academic departments have specific guidelines and requirements that vary by major. The fee associated with academic internships is included in the student's regular semester tuition. Fees for internships taken during the summer may fall under a different tuition structure. The designated faculty member for the major determines if the placement meets the department's requirements with regards to the terms and conditions revolving around hours required to work, compensation, academic based assignments and grading system.
