Internship
The internship program allows students to gain
work experience as well as earn academic credit for
structured learning that occurs through full- or part-
time employment related to their academic majors.
To be eligible, students must have met the following
guidelines:
1. Be enrolled in an eligible FCC program
2. Have a minimum 2.0 grade point average
3. Be approaching their last 15 credits in their
college program
4. Requirements: Internship credits can be earned
through either part- or full-time employment
in a position directly related to the student’s
major. Part-time employment (paid or unpaid)
is normally carried on concurrently with
full- or part-time school enrollment. Hours
of employment may vary, according to type
of position. Full-time employment under the
internship program is normally carried out while
attending school part time. A written assignment
is completed based on work experiences. A
faculty member, selected by the program
manager or department chair, will approve the
assignment, assist with the development of
student outcome goals, maintain contact with
the work site, and assign a grade at the end of
the semester. Grades are based on the student’s
completion of outcome goals, work experience
evaluation and the employer’s evaluations.
