Work Experience Curriculum

All undergraduate students in the College of HRSM must complete career-related work experience as part of their degree requirements. Work experience is built into the college's curriculum to ensure that students are ready to hit the ground running as they enter the job market.

The work experience requirement (internship) is typically completed in the junior or senior year and includes a formal internship position, management or supervisory position, or rotational position that includes work experience in three or more areas of the same company.

• Internships, regardless of your area, must be paid for through your tuition.
• Internships receive a letter grade (they are not pass/fail).
• Internships may be paid or unpaid, depending on the employer.
• Internships can be completed anywhere in the world, as long as there is access to the internet or a way to submit related coursework during the experience.
