SPAN 406 - Internship in Spanish

3 Credit(s)

Students pursue internship experiences in a range of governmental organizations, businesses, and nonprofit institutions. The internship must relate directly to the Hispanic world, and Spanish must be the primary language used in the workplace. A minimum of 75 hours on site is required. Interns are solely responsible for providing adequate documentation (e.g., letter from supervisor, time sheets, and contract) as to the number of hours fulfilled and the duties performed. Students may be paid for their work at the partner institution. A research paper in Spanish focusing on an aspect of the internship is also required. Students must consult the supervising faculty member prior to their internship in order to determine whether the internship fulfills the criteria for credit in this course.
Depending on the nature of the internship, this course may fulfill a culture distribution requirement for the major.
