Students whose programs require an internship may work on or off-campus in paid or unpaid internships, up to 10 hours per week, during the academic year. The role of the internship varies within each of the master's programs at the Graduate School of Education. Please consult with your program director and review your degree requirements for further details. Some programs may require students to concurrently enroll in EDUC 215 Internship Workshop, while engaging in an internship.
