Internship Guidelines and Forms

Students taking the Internship course need to review the Internship Guidelines before they begin the course, and consult the guidelines throughout the semester.

These provide all of the information that you need for preparing your internship proposal (referenced in section II of the guidelines, to be completed prior to registering for the course); it is also helpful to give a copy to your site supervisor so that they know what is expected and can ensure that you get the type of internship experience that will be most valuable to you.

The guidelines describe the number of hours of work you will need to complete, as well as providing detailed information that will assist you in completing your journal entries and writing your final paper.  The guidelines also outline the responsibilities of all parties involved.

The current PACS Internship Guidelines can be accessed via the links below in either PDF or Word format.  These guidelines provide all of the information that you need about the internship requirements and how to register.

Karen Cunningham will be the Internship Advisor for the 2024-25 academic year (starting Fall 2024).  If you start your internship during that time,  you will send your internship proposal to her; once it is approved, you will be able to register for the course.  You will meet with her periodically during the course of your internship.  Your internship supervisor at your job site will need to send your completed evaluation form to her upon the completion of your internship.
