Invaluable Internships
Internships are valuable ways of translating classroom theory into practical application, discovering what professional skills you need to master, and gaining firsthand knowledge of the pros and cons of a profession. Internships are measured in credit hours, are graded, and may or may not be paid work experiences. The majority of graduates reported that their internships positively affected their post-graduate employment potential.
All students with sophomore standing, who have spent at least one semester at Lyndon have a 2.0 GPA or better, and have the approval of their sponsoring academic department are eligible to participate in an internship. Before an internship can officially begin, students must complete the online Internship Contract (see below). Students should first consult with their faculty advisor and the faculty member who will be supervising the internship. Once the contract is completed, it needs to be forwarded to the appropriate faculty for approval. The Memo of Understanding is also needed to complete the internship contract. This should be printed off and signed by the internship site supervisor and the student and returned to the office of Career Services (Outdoor Education, Leadership, and Tourism, Exercise Science, Education, and Psychology students who are interested in internships need to follow their departmental procedures.)
The necessary internship forms are here for your convenience. For internship opportunities please visit Career Services for suggestions and check out the links below.
Presently all Lyndon academic departments, EXCEPT Recreation, Education, Psychology, and Exercise Science require students to obtain internship paperwork from the Career Services Office.
