Internship Interest Form

Please complete this form if you plan to pursue either an Academic (for-credit) Internship or a Non-Credit Internship. Academic Internships are credit-bearing internships. Students earn academic credit for the hours spent on-site at their internship, as well as required weekly assignments supervised by an Internship Specialist. The first step for all students in the internship search process is completing this Internship Interest Form.

Pursuing an internship (for-credit or non-credit) is just one way a student may satisfy the Experiential Learning requirement. Please refer to the Forester Fundamental Curriculum webpage for a complete list of ways that students may fulfill the Experiential Learning requirement.

For more information on the process of securing an internship and receiving approval to complete an internship for credit, please visit: Academic Internship Program
