Master's Internships

Graduate internships are temporary professional opportunities in industry available to students enrolled in graduate programs at the university. Full-time employees of the offering organization are not eligible for an internship appointment and cannot receive academic credit for their professional position.

Masters-level academic credit is awarded at a rate of one credit hour for every 200 clock hours of work completed, up to a maximum of three credit hours in one semester. Three internship credit hours may be applied toward degree requirements in all degree programs.

International students must verify their eligibility to work in the U.S. with International Student Services BEFORE accepting an internship, and may not register for an internship after having completed their educational requirements, according to the regulations of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. An internship must be required in the curriculum or fulfill a required elective.

Students selected for an internship may register for the approved number of credit hours in the appropriate departmental internship course and will be charged tuition for one credit hour plus applicable mandatory and program fees.
