Internships and Jobs

Students are placed with participating employers for work terms during which they may earn generally up to 12 academic credits per semester in addition to acquiring on-site experience. While internships may be on-campus or off-campus experiences, they are generally characterized by an independent design and the integration of classroom work with practical experiences. All internships should include some critical, reflective component.

An internship is designed to introduce the student to the opportunities, duties, and responsibilities of personal career objectives through an experience collaboratively planned by the student, academic department, the employer, and the Internship Coordinator. Thus, the student not only is made aware of the potential of a chosen career, but also becomes more acutely sensitive to the value of, and the necessity for, remaining academic studies.

Internship sites can be found locally, nationally, and internationally. While all internships carry academic credits, some internships also provide financial remuneration.

While the department may enforce more stringent acceptance standards, the University requires as minimum qualifications:

  1. Students must be in good academic standing at the University to participate in an internship.
  2. Students must have completed 12 credits at Castleton.
  3. Students must be matriculated prior to applying for an internship.
  4. The Internship Application form requires the approval of a Castleton faculty supervisor, the on-site supervisor, and the Internship Coordinator.
  5. Internships may be taken either on a pass/no pass basis or for a grade.

The following guideline identifies the general number of internship hours expected for a specified credit award:

  • 40 hours per week for 14 weeks (560 total hours) = 12 credits
  • 30 hours per week for 14 weeks (420 hours total) = 9 credits
  • 20 hours per week for 14 weeks (280 hours total) = 6 credits
  • 10 hours per week for 14 weeks (140 hours total) = 3 credits
