Slippery Rock University provides a diverse program of internships through which students may earn from 3 to 12 credits. In this way students may test the practical application of their academic preparation in any of a variety of professional or occupational settings, on or off campus. Through an internship, students have the opportunity to explore the interrelationship between an academic subject and the work related to that subject. Students can expand their knowledge and enhance their learning experiences. Internships assist them in the acquisition and application of skills related to a discipline or program of study, and provide them with the knowledge and experience necessary for obtaining certification or licensing (see your College Catalog on-line for more information). Interested students should check with the department of their major or with the dean of their college for internship information in their fields.
