Internship Entrance Requirements

  1. Be in Good Academic Standing

  2. Maintain a cumulative 2.0 [C] GPA or better within the Major [courses identified with major-field designator] taken prior to the internship

  3. Meet any additional requirements as set by individual academic programs

Exceptions to any entrance requirements for the internship require the written approval of the Dean.
