Internships

Modern Languages 460. Internship. (1-3 credit hours)
Internships in foreign languages, which are normally arranged by the Director of Career Services, are occasionally available and permit a qualified student to receive academic credit for an off-campus experience by working with either a business or non-profit organization. The internship, which requires of the student an advanced competence in a foreign language, must entail a significant encounter with a foreign language, written and/or spoken, and maintenance of an appropriate journal as well as a final written evaluation of the internship. Placements must be approved by a faculty member who teaches the language in question and the chair of the department.
