Internship

Catalog description

Internships are exempt from tuition, but are charged this independent course fee. An internship is a cooperative program between BYU-Idaho Department of Animal and Food Science and approved Experience Providers (employers). Internships provide actual work experience that will add to or enhance the career preparation and learning of individual students. Internships approved by the department or college internships coordinator provide students with knowledge of career opportunities and actual work experience in preparation for employment after graduation. The ideal internship would take place during the student's flex semester; however allowances can be made to adjust schedules to meet specific internships. Students will not be allowed to start and finish their internships during the 7 week summer break. Required internships should generally be a stepping stone into your future career. Internships are typically 40-hour a week positions that last for a length of a semester (14 weeks). A maximum of one credit hour will be available for a single approved internship.
