Internships

This Internship Program is an organized, for-credit professional learning program where the student takes on responsibilities as a worker and then observes and reflects on their experiences.  It typically coincides with the beginning and ending of a semester (Fall, Spring, Summer) and requires the student to perform a minimum of 120 hours of on-site work during this time period.  The program also engages the student in a unique relationship (3-way partnership) between an approved host organization and the College of Charleston, School of Business & Economics, where the student will be assigned work responsibilities under the supervision of host organization personnel.  The site supervisor and the internship faculty advisor are key players in the student’s learning process.  The faculty advisor will grade the student on the basis of: the internship deliverables, the site supervisor’s evaluation and the student’s own self-assessment.   The learning experience will be guided by a learning contract outlining specific work components, one-on-one bi-weekly meetings with the faculty advisor and the course syllabus.
