Internships
An internship is a way for you to earn college credit while working in an actual position that relates to your major, giving you a chance to gain experience and make connections in a professional setting. You register for the internship class but instead of going to a classroom, you go to your internship job site.
Our department is here to:
- Determine whether you are academically ready for an internship
- Help you register for internship credit
- Give you access to internship postings from local employers
- Advise and coach you throughout the process
- Check out our MyVC page for scheduled info sessions and more!
In order to register for an internship a student must have:
- 12 credits completed (with grades) when you apply
- 2.0 GPA (minimum)
- Reading/Writing course completed (at least one)
- Math course completed (based on your degree)
- Must *not* be enrolled in the Dual Enrollment program
- Program-specific requirements:
