Off-Campus Internship Program
Off-campus Undergraduate Internship Course (INT)
Hello potential Undergraduate INT student!
The Center for Career and Professional Development is pleased to inform you about the two undergraduate internship courses we offer. INT 1010 (section 001) is our part-time internship course and requires a minimum of 160 internship-site hours, while INT 2010 (section 001) is our full-time internship course and requires a minimum of 320 site hours. Both courses correspond with students via the web, which enables students to intern on national and international levels. If you are a graduate student seeking an internship course, we offer INT 8010. This course also corresponds via the web and allows graduate students to maintain their student status while on an internship assignment.
Should you choose to enroll in either class, your first responsibility will be to secure an internship in your major or field of interest. Please note that internship site approval by the INT course instructors is required on or before the last day that students may add a class to their course schedule in any given semester. Should you desire, the Career Center can assist you in your internship search process.
Course Fee
The fee for the course is $200. The last day to withdraw from the class without a W Grade is consistent with the last day to withdraw from any course according to the Clemson University academic calendar, which can be found at http://www.registrar.clemson.edu/html/Acad_Cal.htm.
Signatures / Paperwork
We look forward to potentially working with you through INT. Please let us know if you have questions, concerns or updates and feel free to call, stop by, or email us OffCampusInternships@Clemson.edu at any time.

Register for INT 1030 if this is your third part-time internship experience and you previously enrolled in both INT 1010 and 1020.
INT 2010 / 2020 / 2030
A minimum of 320 contact hours (full time). Students enroll only in INT 2010 and work full time during any semester. Zero credit hour course.
