Faculty internship coordinators across campus play a critical role in the success of the internship program at СÓÅÊÓƵ.

Faculty internship coordinators are a departmental designee, often a faculty member, who serves to evaluate if an internship meets departmental criteria for credit approval. Often this person also administers the internship class for the department or academic program. There are multiple faculty internship coordinators across campus.

As we work to build our program and the number of quality internships available to СÓÅÊÓƵ students, faculty involvement is key.

Please refer to the Internship Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines Manual (PDF) for more information regarding the internship program.
