NOTE:  You must submit your Application and Contract to the World Studies Internship Coordinator by the Application Deadline in order to register for the course and receive academic credit for your internship.  Late applications will NOT be accepted.  Application Deadlines for each semester are posted in the SWS Advising Office, Internship Office, and Website, and included in the Internship Syllabus.

An internship directory is located on the World Studies website with many potential internship opportunities.  The internship coordinator will assist you in identifying appropriate agencies given your particular academic and career interests.  However, you, the student, are ultimately responsible for securing an internship placement.  Follow these simple steps to apply for an internship:

1. Schedule a meeting with the Internship Coordinator (827-1111).  You will discuss the course requirements and identify potential internship locations.

2. Carefully read through the Application Packet and Internship Syllabus. 

3. Contact the agencies that are of interest to you, stating your interest in working with them and asking about their particular application process and required paperwork for securing an internship location.

4. Once accepted for placement, have the supervisor complete and sign the Internship Contract.

5. Return the completed Internship Application and the Contract to the internship coordinator by the Application Deadline for the semester you intend to complete your internship.  Late applications will NOT be accepted.  If your application is submitted on time, you will receive a Course Override Form to register for the appropriate internship course.

6. Take the Course Override to Founders Hall (corner of Shafer and Franklin) to register for the course.  Only students registered for the internship course will receive a grade and academic credit for their internship.  Please Note:  The Internship is an academic course like any other.  The credits will appear on your transcript and will be added to your tuition cost.
