Students may apply knowledge gained in the classroom to the specific settings of the work environment. Career-related internships may be completed any time after the sophomore year. It is not performed for academic credit unless offered for academic credit by the student’s major. There are multiple ways to complete Career-Related Internship requirement. Students who plan to go on to graduate school or in a research field may work with a faculty member to write an original thesis, or produce an original body of work appropriate for their field of study. This option will require students to register for 6 credit hours. The thesis or work should result in a significant and appropriate contribution of new ideas to the field. Faculty supervisors may voluntarily elect to work with students to guide the research or creative process. Upon completion, students will do an oral presentation of their work to the campus community. A volunteer committee of three faculty members, chosen by the student and approved by the faculty supervisor, will orally examine the student and assign a final letter grade for the thesis.
