The Experiential Education and Internship Program supports all students seeking internship experience for-credit and not for-credit.

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), by definition, an internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths. 

For-credit internships consist of in class or online coursework with an approved, faculty-supervised work experience. The work experience must relate to the student's program of study. Students must complete a minimum of 120 hours of work and finish coursework assignments.

An internship may be: full or part-time, paid or unpaid, during fall, spring, summer, or year long. 

If you have general questions about the internship program, please  contact Karyn King Fargo at kkingfar@northshore.edu or visit: https://www.northshore.edu/internships.html
