Undergraduate Internship Process & Application

To earn academic credit for an internship, students must have their internship approved by their Internship Coordinator.

Students who have an internship offer, or are currently interviewing for an internship, can complete the Internship Application Form below to have their internship review by their Internship Coordinator. 

Only forms submitted by students who have an internship offer can be considered for academic credit. All other submissions will only receive feedback on the internship experience currently being pursued and will not be processed for registration into the internship course. Students will need to resubmit the form once they have the internship offer to be considered for academic credit. 

After the application has been submitted, it will be reviewed to ensure the student has completed the all prerequisites and that the internship experience meets their program requirements/criteria.

If you have any questions regarding the Internship Process and Application, please reach out to CCI's Professional Development Project Coordinator, Caitlin Knepper (ckneppe1@kent.edu).
