Internships cannot be registered after they are completed. To receive credit/a P-credit, internships must be registered.
At Hamline, an internship is defined as:
"A form of experiential education that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skill development in a professional setting. Students earn academic credit, or there is some other connection to a degree-granting, educational institution. This work/learning arrangement is overseen by a faculty member and by a designated employee of the host organization in order to be considered for academic credit. The internship is usually the length or equivalent of an academic term, may be part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid. An integral component of the experience that distinguishes it from other types of work is one or more forms of structured and deliberate reflection contained within learning agendas or objectives."
This definition allows for some flexibility for students to intern in a variety of different settings and explore how their Liberal Arts education can be applied in a wide array of career areas. It also allows for students to develop their own internship experience, or adapt an existing job or volunteer experience into an internship, by adding a structured learning component that includes goal-setting, on-going supervision and reflection.
