Student FAQ's

  1. Are internships paid or unpaid?
    Both. Some internships are paid and others are not paid. Many non-profit organizations are not able to pay their interns. However, non-profits can offer very good site training.
     

  2. How many credits are internships?
     You may take up to 15 semester credits for internships. Up to nine (9) credits can apply toward your major; the remaining must be general education credits. Departments may decide to allow less than nine (9) credits of internship count toward their major. This may be taken in one semester or over several semesters.
     

  3. Are internships graded?
     Credits that are toward your major must be given a letter grade or a credit/no credit. General education credits can be graded pass/fail. Internship credits beyond nine (9) credits must be taken on a credit/no credit basis.
     

  4. Can I do a part-time internship?
     Yes.  Students participating in a part-time internship (one for less than 15 semester hours credit) may be simultaneously enrolled in additional courses at Lock Haven University or elsewhere. The total semester hours credit for that term shall not exceed 18.
     

  5. When can I start an internship?
     You may start a for-credit internship when you have at least 60 semester hours credit and a minimum QPA of 2.5 overall.
     

  6. How do I find an internship?
     It’s good to start talking with your academic department about internships. Visit the Career Services office and website to seek more resources for internships. Also friends and family are good sources. Finding an Internship provides more information on locating sites.
     

  7. How do I schedule a meeting with the Internship Coordinator? 
    You may contact Anita Casper by email: acasper@lhup.edu, telephone 570-484-2247, or stop in the office, 114 Akeley Hall between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
