THE APPLICATION PROCESS
Applications are considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Deadlines are stated below in RED. Deadlines are at least one semester in advance of the internship. Early applicants are given priority over those who wait until the last minute, or submit after the stated deadlines. Late applications are almost always considered, so you can still miss the deadline and apply, although that is not recommended.
Please do not contact an internship site yourself unless you have a personal/professional relationship with them. If you find a new site you’d like to work with, please contact Terry Linehan, and he’ll contact them.
Terry will submit your application to the agencies on your behalf. Once your internship has been confirmed by the agency (usually after your interview with the agency) Terry will submit your “Permission to Enroll” form to the Dean and your FST 498 Internship will be added to your schedule. Internships are 3 credit hours per semester and must be paid for as you would any class.
