Information Technology Internship

Catalog description

Work experience intended to provide exposure to the practical and daily operations of an information technology office, support team, or equivalent. Placement within a private firm, government institution or agency, corporation, or other office is based on major and/or career interests to the extent possible. As the culmination of academic study, the internship may not take place before a student's second year, although it may take place in either semester of the second year, per agreement between the student, advisor, and supervising instructor. The student may or may not receive a salary or compensation for services (negotiable with employer/organization). The student logs the experience and submits a narrative report at the conclusion of the internship. This internship experience requires a minimum of 225 work experience hours, but may include more hours depending on the individual needs of the internship experience. In addition to work experience hours, students are also required to satisfactorily complete the internship experience through a final employer evaluation or assessment.
