Internships
Your college internship may be part-time or full-time, undertaken during the school year or during the summer and may be located on campus, in the Columbus area or in other regional, national or international locations.
When you pursue an internship through the Otterbein Internship Program, you will work closely with a faculty internship advisor and on-site work supervisor to plan the internship experience. The following factors characterize this type of internship:
- You will receive academic credit for the internship; you must pay tuition for this credit based on the quarter hours attempted.
- Together you, a faculty advisor and the on-site work supervisor will develop a learning contract that outlines mutual intentions and educational and work expectations for the internship.
- You will receive a grade for your internship.
- Your performance is officially evaluated at various stages during the experience.
- Some additional academic work may be assigned by the faculty advisor to help tie academic learning with "real world" work experience.
You may choose to pursue internship experiences on your own rather than under the auspices of the college program. No credit is earned for these experiences and the college plays no role in the planning, supervision or evaluation of these internships.
