Credit-Bearing Internships in H&S

Internships are offered for credit through specific H&S departments and programs (consult the catalog for details).

The document H&S Guidelines for Credit-Bearing Internships contains important information about expectations and responsibilities that students, faculty sponsors, and the site supervisor at the workplace should review in advance. 

To be enrolled in an internship course, students must work with a faculty sponsor and complete a Learning Contract.

In addition, all students registering for an H&S internship course are required to complete the college's online training on Harassment Prevention to be registered in an internship course. Learning contracts cannot be approved without the certificate of completion. You will be asked to upload a copy of the confirmation of completion email that you will receive after submission of the training activity.

For more information on internship policies and procedures, please review the FAQ below.
