CSCI 490 - Computer Science Internship

3-12 Credit(s)

This subject-related work experience or other activity is offered only upon special application from the student and a supervising faculty member. Approval must be obtained in advance from the computer science faculty and requires a specific outline of work to be done; the nature and extent of its academic relevance; the academic and special preparation of the student for the proposed activity. Written approval must be obtained from the employer/sponsor, and arrangements must be made for regular contact between the student and the supervising faculty member. The student is responsible for making all arrangements. A final report must be submitted upon completion of the activity, and a pass/fail grade will be assigned. The number of semester hours earned depends on the extent of the approved activity (12 semester hours corresponds to full-time work for a semester).
Prerequisite(s): junior or senior standing, a GPA of at least 2.5 both in the major and cumulative in all courses, and approval of the student’s academic advisor and the head of the Science Division.
