Internship Agreement

Experiential learning helps students to:

  • Refine career goals
  • Broaden and enhance marketable skills
  • Connect academic learning to real-world experience
  • Learn about a sector, organization, or role while building a professional network


Ideal experiential learning helps the student build professional skills while applying classroom concepts to projects that are “mission critical” to the host organization. EdCareers recommends no more than 10 hours per week, with student and manager meeting regularly. Experiential Learning can be paid and/or for academic credit.


For more information on what defines an internship, please visit the NACE internship guide.


Filling out this internship agreement helps to ensure that you and the organization that you are working with are on the same page in terms of understanding the time, resources, and outcome of expectations for your internship.


BEFORE FILLING OUT THIS FORM:


International students: International students must have a new CPT-endorsed I-20 for the specific company and dates before beginning work. Working without a CPT-endorsed I-20 is a serious violation which could forfeit your ability to remain in the U.S. and bar you in the future from re-entry to the U.S. Learn more about CPT.


EDS & LDT: In consultation with your program director, you may enroll in EDUC 215 to earn academic credit


MA/MBA students, please consult with MA/MBA director Geoff Cox (gcox@stanford.edu) if you are interested in pursuing an internship for academic credit.

Academic Credit - Number of Units*

Students may earn one unit of credit for a paid or unpaid internship. This unit of credit reflects work done specifically for the course, and not for the work being done in the internship.


Students completing an unpaid internship have an option to earn additional units, up to three units total. Students working an average of 3-5 uncompensated hours per week (30-59 over a 10-week quarter) may earn a total of two units; students working an average of 6-10 uncompensated hours per week (60-100 over a 10-week quarter) may earn a total of three units.

Are you enrolled in one of the following courses?*

We recommend that internships take 3-10 hours per week (or 30-100 hours per quarter) during the 10-week quarter (Autumn, Winter, Spring). In consultation with your program director, Summer quarter internships may exceed 10 hours.
