Internship

(1-3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

A capstone of the AFST major is the 6-credit senior project, which may be either a senior internship or senior thesis. Either option provides seniors with an opportunity to reflect upon the larger implications of their course work and, should they desire, to incorporate a service-learning component. A written proposal describing the intended internship must be submitted to the AFST chair for formal approval. If accepted, the student will be assigned a supervisor/advisor and required to write a 30 - 40 page project summation. The final version of the senior project is due at the end of the term. An oral presentation on the senior project must also be made to the director and advisory committee during the week of final examinations in order to complete degree requirements. Minors may undertake a 3-credit internship with the permission of the chair.
