Internship Requirements

090 Internship: A meaningful and appropriately challenging work experience that provides insight into an industry and career path of interest, most frequently at an off-campus job site and monitored by an onsite work supervisor. An internship must involve a minimum of 100 hours of completed work and must have a sponsor who is a member of the Colby teaching faculty. An online application is required, with final approval granted by DavisConnects. A successful internship will receive a transcript notation. At the discretion of the faculty sponsor and DavisConnects, and with the completion of a final project above and beyond typical intern duties, it may also earn one (optional) academic credit per internship, up to a maximum of three credits toward the 128 credits required for graduation. Internships completed in January may also count toward the Jan Plan requirement. Complete internship policies and application deadlines are on the DavisConnects website.
