Construction Internship

Catalog description

Internship credits are exempt from tuition charges. However, an administrative fee equal to one credit hour at the current rate of tuition will be charged for an internship course. The fee is in addition to any tuition charges for other classes. Fees are charged independently of tuition and are not subject to the 12-credit tuition cap. An internship is a cooperative program between BYU-Idaho Design and Construction Department and approved Experience Providers (employers). Advanced level internships correlate actual work experience in the management of people and resources in the construction/architecture industry with the architecture and construction coursework. Internships approved by the internship 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 and be a full time, paid employment opportunity. The length of time for your internship experience is intended to be equal to a 14 week semester, 40 hours per week or approximately 560 hours. Students should complete this internship course no later than between their Junior and Senior years.
