Internship Course

The internship is one of the primary academic and professional pillars of the Los Angeles Internship Program. Students are introduced to industry environments in their respective fields at sites where they will see the work of industry professionals and participate “in the business.” Students are required to intern for a minimum of 20 hours per week, however, they are able to intern at two companies for up to 40 hours per week. Study Abroad will then enroll students in a non-credit Hub co-curricular and a four-credit internship course, which includes a classroom component. Progress is monitored through student journal entries and a final paper in which students reflect on their education and experience over the semester. Upon successful completion of the internship experience, undergraduate students will receive a Hub unit in the area Individual in Community from the co-curricular HUB SA 330.
