The student must have a GPA of 2.5 or better. The student should have completed a significant portion of the core career requirements in their major field of study with a total of 30 credit hours towards a degree. Additionally, a faculty recommendation from the student's major field of study is required. The Cooperative Internship Program is a paid or non-paid fieldwork experience in business and/or industry within the student's major area of study. Variable credit hours (1-4 Cr. Hrs. per semester) may be earned dependent upon the number of work hours available from the employing organization. A student may sign up for as much internship as desired, however, the number of credit hours which can be applied towards a degree/certificate depends on the student's course of study and departmental requirements. This course is offered as a pass/no pass grade. The internship course starting and ending dates are determined on an individual basis.
