Undergraduate Internships in English
Internships provide students a coherent and cohesive program of integrated learning experiences that support their academic, social, and personal development. An internship is a carefully monitored (in this case by both a representative from the College of Charleston and by an individual within the place of internship) work or service experience in which a student has specific learning goals and can reflect upon those opportunities. Additionally, an internship often has specific requirements (i.e. minimum number of work hours for credit earned) that are laid out by the department faculty member or chairperson. In such a case, the student, the faculty advisor, and the internship host together write a contract detailing the specific requirements for the experience. After is the contract is completed, the academic department must approve the structure of the activities, and handle the final assessment, and grant graded credit.
