Converse College has an active, well-established Internship Program. Students successfully complete credit-bearing internships each academic year that give them experience in the arts, business, education, government, health care, law, museums, non-profits, and the sciences.
Benefits to Employers:
- Make a significant contribution to the professional preparation of college students.
- Increase the visibility of your organization to the Converse community.
- Expect enthusiastic students who are eager to gain work experience in their field of interest.
- Obtain help for special projects or peak work periods.
- Save on recruiting costs by considering interns as potential future employees.
How Does the Program Work?
Eligibility: Juniors and seniors who have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at the time of application for an internship. Individual departments may require a higher cumulative or departmental GPA.
Credit:
Although each Converse academic department determines the number of hours which must be served in order to receive a certain number of credit hours, it is generally necessary to work the equivalent of
100 hours to earn the minimum amount of credit available (per term) for any internship and
200 hours for the maximum amount.
Each department determines the exact amount.
Terms: Students, Faculty Advisors, and Employers initiate an Internship Learning contract, which includes learning objectives and evaluation criteria.
Time Commitment: Students may apply for Internships during fall, winter, and spring semesters, in addition to, summer breaks. The student and the employer will mutually determine work hours.
