Internship. It is strongly recommended that the Internship/Co-Op be undertaken during the Summer Session before or after the Senior
Year. If taken during a Fall or Spring Semester, the Internship/Co-Op should be accompanied by a reduced course load to allow for
the time requirements of the Internship/Co-Op; this would necessitate an increased course load (17-18 hours) in another semester to
complete the 120 total hours required.
