Internship Requirement
Internships are an excellent way for students to test professional interests in a real work setting, while gaining invaluable experience and promoting skills to future employers. Students in an academic program requiring an internship may earn academic credit and count that internship (e.g. student teaching) toward fulfillment of the HHSP requirement, however, appropriate paperwork must be completed.
All scholars are required to complete an internship, most appropriately suited to their field of study and intended career pursuits. A legitimate internship should be in your major field, or related field of interest, in which you intend to pursue a career. It should be both an educational and professional experience that can be listed on a resume. Internships may last a year, a summer, a semester, or several weeks, depending upon the nature and field.
It is expected that all scholars complete the required internship prior to beginning their final year of coursework. HHSP scholars who fail to meet this requirement by the prescribed deadline will have their entire scholarship withheld that year.
Students must submit the Internship Pre-Approval Form no later than two (2) weeks before beginning the internship. A determination regarding your proposed internship will be made and you will receive notification of that decision via email.
Upon completion of their internship, students must submit the Scholar Internship Evaluation and have their direct supervisor submit the Supervisor Internship Evaluation to the HHSP office in Memorial Hall West room 108. Once both evaluations have been received, you will be sent notification via email that your internship requirement is complete.
Students should keep a copy of all documentation for their records.
