Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Below is a simple breakdown and explanation of the NACE definition to better understand what we are looking for in an internship for credit.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>The experience must be an extension of the classroom: a learning experience that provides ample opportunity for the student to utilize the information learned in the classroom in a professional setting. It must not be simply to advance the operations of the employer or be the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.<\/li>\n<li>Administrative tasks (i.e. general office work) should comprise less than 30% of the internship.<\/li>\n<li>The skills or knowledge learned must be transferable to other employment settings.<\/li>\n<li>The experience has a defined beginning and end, and a job description with desired qualifications.<\/li>\n<li>There are clearly defined learning objectives\/goals related to the professional goals of the student\u2019s academic coursework.<\/li>\n<li>There is supervision by a professional with expertise and educational and\/or professional background in the field of the experience.<\/li>\n<li>There is routine feedback by the experienced supervisor.<\/li>\n<li>There are resources, equipment, and facilities provided by the host employer that support learning objectives\/goals.<\/li>\n<li>All for-credit Internships must be pre-approved by the Center for Career Development and the Academic Internship Mentor (AIM) before the student begins the internship experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Additionally, we apply the Department of Labor primary beneficiary test to determine who is the primary beneficiary of the internship and the validity of a successful internship placement. These factors include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: lower-alpha;\">\n<li>the extent to which the intern and the employer clearly understand that there is no expectation of compensation;<\/li>\n<li>the extent to which the internship provides training that would be similar to that which would be given in an educational environment, including the clinical and other hands-on training provided by an educational institution;<\/li>\n<li>the extent to which the internship is tied to the intern&#8217;s formal education program by integrated coursework or the receipt of academic credit;<\/li>\n<li>the extent to which the internship accommodates the intern&#8217;s academic commitments by corresponding to the academic calendar;<\/li>\n<li>the extent to which the internship&#8217;s duration is limited to the period in which the internship provides the intern with beneficial learning;<\/li>\n<li>the extent to which the intern&#8217;s work complements, rather than displaces, the work of paid employees while providing significant educational benefits to the intern; and<\/li>\n<li>the extent to which the intern and the employer understand that the internship is conducted without entitlement to a paid job at the conclusion of the internship.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>The following also must be followed by the student for the internship to be considered viable for a credit-bearing internship opportunity:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&nbsp;All internships and sites must abide by the Department of Labor and National Association of Colleges and Employers for employment standards.

After making corrections to the application, the student must notify Marymount University Center for Career Development in a timely manner that corrections are complete. Corrections not made within 2 business days may require the student to resubmit the application.<\/li>\n<li>If Marymount University Center for Career Development determines that the internship does not satisfy the above definition and\/or is not feasible for educational credit, the application will be denied. If this occurs, students are encouraged to meet with the Center for Career Development staff and faculty to discuss alternative internship options.
