Internship
An internship provides the student with practical, hands-on work experience. Students must obtain approval from the Program Director to register for this course. To be approved, an internship must be aligned with the DSAN program goals and provide a significant learning experience for the student. At the end of the internship, the student must submit a 10 page paper to the course instructor, detailing why and how the internship was a critical component of their graduate program, as well as the specific skills, methods, and models they were able to apply from their coursework. Internships should be at least 5 hours per week for a minimum of 6 weeks (30 hours total), and may be in-person, remote, or hybrid. F-1 international students who take this course must request Curricular Practical Training (CPT) authorization via the Office of Global Services (OGS). The program does not require students to complete an internship.
