I don’t think it’s saying saying that…
To meet one-on-one with the internship coordinator, please schedule an appointment through Student Services in 10 Bidgood Hall or at 205-348-4537. Students cannot schedule internship appointments using the online scheduling system. Whenever you come for an appointment, verbally notify the reception staff in 10 Bidgood first, there is no need to sign in for an internship advising appointment, and then walk up to 250 Bidgood. You may also e-mail or phone the coordinator with questions (see below).
Students can also discuss internships with Culverhouse Academic Advisors, or with the Career Center@Culverhouse staff in 250 Bidgood Hall, or in the main Career Center office at the Ferguson Center.
Employers with staffing needs or trainee opportunities that may be compatible with the internship program should e-mail the internship coordinator a brief description of primary job duties. Please include the hourly wage, weekly work hours, location, and internship duration dates comparable to UA’S ACADEMIC CALENDAR.
Only juniors and seniors who are academically poised to accept professional challenges may enroll into the 400-level internship “course.” As these student interns master routine tasks and build experience in their majors, they are expected to train with supervision, as would entry-level employees, to develop a working knowledge of overall company operations.
Once an employer has submitted an internship proposal and it has been approved for academic credit, the internship coordinator will post the position so that students can apply directly to the opening. Employers, please arrange interviews with the students of interest who have applied or contact the internship coordinator if you would like to interview on campus.

How can I participate in the Culverhouse internship program?

Your application WILL be approved if you meet the requirements detailed here. Your application for internship credit is is for Culverhouse records and will not be distributed; it is separate from your individual applicantions to various internships.
Since this program allows internship self-selection, no placement will be made for you.You must apply to each internship you find that is of interest according to its individual instructions, via CrimsonCareers, on the company web site, etc. Although there are no guarantees, internship experiences are plentiful if you are persistent and creative.
