Internships at UWRF are work experiences designed, conducted and evaluated within an academic context. Students earn academic credit while working in a professional setting. Ongoing communication, feedback and evaluation among students, faculty and work supervisors ensure that educational and work goals are met.

Procedures to Initiate Internships

• To initiate the internship process for obtaining college credit for an internship, contact the relevant department internship coordinator. In almost all instances this contact person will be the internship coordinator in the student's major or minor department.
• Some departments post internships for their students, while other departments require that a student find their own internship and present it to a department coordinator to determine the internship's creditworthiness.
