Overview of Internships
Internships are learning opportunities outside
the university for students to study and
experience professional career interests under
the supervision of faculty. Internships provide
students with additional skills in their fields
and allow students to apply their knowledge
learned in the classroom.
Internships are generally a semester in
duration, but can be shorter. Students can
intern part-time or full-time, anywhere between
10 – 40 hours/week. A student doing a part-time
internship can also be enrolled in classes at
Lock Haven University. For-credit internships
are monitored by a faculty member. Internships
can be paid or unpaid.
Employers are encouraged to
post their
internships directly to the website. You can
create a profile of your company and post and
update internship opportunities. A Career
Services staff person can create and update
information for you, also. Typically a student
will contact you and submit the application
information you requested. The faculty
supervisor in conjunction with the on-site
supervisor will develop a description of
internship responsibilities. Although each
academic department varies in its requirements
for evaluation, some may ask for a mid-term and
final evaluation. |
