Students anticipating a Fall '10 internship must attend either one of the above sessions. Prior to attending the preinternship meeting, students must have met with their faculty advisor to obtain and review their Departmental Progress Report (DPR).

To participate in this meeting, students must  (a) bring with them their DPR and a note from their faculty advisor (preferably written directly on the DPR) establishing that the student is eligible for internship upon completion of courses in which s/he is currently enrolled, and (b) review – before the preinternship meeting – the list of internship sites and bring with them a list of their top three choices.

Please note some new internship sites have been added. Please look over the listing of sites. Complete paper files with additional information are available in the department main office.

Students who do not fulfill both requirements will not be guaranteed internship placement for the term requested.
