Internships

Paid and Volunteer Internship Credit

Internships can be a powerful career development tool. By participating in an internship, students gain practical hands-on job experience, learn industry standards, and evaluate actual work environments.

  • For paid internships, 1 unit = 75 hours, 2 units = 150 hours, 3 units = 225 hours
  • For volunteer internships, 1 unit = 60 hours, 2 units = 120 hours, 3 units = 180

Students desiring to receive academic credit for internships should sign up for WEXP 290 — General Work Experience.

Department-based internship opportunities are also available. Students interested in an internship specific to a department should sign up for that 295 course in the specific department.
