The AUP Internship Program offers students the opportunity to acquire professional experience while earning academic credit. In addition to what is typically a 10- to 20-hour workweek, the student must fulfill certain academic requirements. Internships are required for some majors, but any undergraduate student may apply up to 4 internship credits toward graduation. Students participating in internships must be in good academic standing, be at least a sophomore, and demonstrate personal maturity.
The Internship/Career Development Office maintains listings of internship opportunities in a variety of domains and assists students in their search, but students are responsible for obtaining their own internships.
A non-credit internship is available to currently enrolled, degree-seeking students who have completed a minimum of 32 university credits for undergraduates and 16 credits for graduate students (specific conditions and fees apply). In order to facilitate the transition to the world of work, a graduating student may also choose to pursue this option when all degree requirements have been met, but the student has yet to receive his or her diploma. In this case, the student has to defer graduation and will be considered a graduate of the semester when the internship is registered. However the duration of the internship must not exceed six months after the end of the student's final course work. Once they have graduated, students are no longer eligible to pursue an internship with AUP. See the Internship Office site for more information on the AUP Internship Program.
