PURPOSE
The purpose of the Internship Program is to enable Theatre Arts majors to engage in off-campus learning experience related to their major and deserving of academic credit.

INTERNSHIP PERIOD
An intern may earn 3-15 credits during a semester and he/she may enroll for internship credits during successive semesters. However, the total number of internship credits earned by a student must not exceed 15. Forty hours of competent internship experience is required for each credit received.

ELIGIBILITY
An applicant must be a major in the Theatre Arts Department with no less than 15 credits completed within his/her major field; at least a 3.0 cumulative average in his/her major; and no less than a 2.75 overall cumulative average. Students who fail to achieve the required averages by .2 or less may petition for special consideration in their letter of intent.

LETTER OF INTENT
The letter of intent should specify the nature of the internship desired, the number of credits sought, the reasons why an internship would be preferable to traditional coursework, and his/her conformance with the eligibility standards described above. For more complete information on internships please contact the Theatre Arts Department office.
