Course Catalog 2008-2009

The Denison Internship Program is an optional program providing students with attractive opportunities for exploring career fields of interest to them. Administered by Career Services, the Denison Internship Program offers numerous internship sites around the country in a broad array of careers: business, education, government, law, medicine, science, non-profit, the arts and communication. Students may apply for these particular internships (listed annually in the Denison Internship Program Catalog) or they may arrange internships in areas that better match their career, geographic and financial preferences. Career Services provides support to students seeking such independently arranged internships through individual appointments, workshops and utilizing office resources.

Internships are for a minimum of three weeks (roughly 100 hours) and can be concentrated into a three-week period (as the "May Term" internships were) or may occur/extend into the summer depending on agreement with the internship site. Faculty sponsored Travel Seminars or programs may be offered through academic departments; these typically occur during early summer.

While neither academic credit nor grades are awarded, when internship paperwork is properly completed and returned to Career Services in a timely manner, internships are noted on academic transcripts. This paperwork includes registering the internship with Career Services and turning in completed evaluations from the internship site. Employers and graduate/professional schools report that these types of experiences greatly complement the on-campus academic experience.
