Internships are learning and work experiences that enable students to gain hands-on experience in a particular field. Such experiences provide students with an opportunity to reaffirm their choice of major, gain relevant experience in their field of choice, and set themselves apart from others by having unique learning experiences beyond the classroom.  

Internship Application

Independent Study is appropriate when one or more of the following factors prevail: 

  1. The student has taken all of the regularly scheduled course work available in the field of interest in which pure specialization is desired; or
  2. A topic for study is interdisciplinary and courses bringing together the desired elements in a specific configuration are unavailable; or
  3. The University does not offer course work related directly to a proposed topic (which nevertheless falls within the purview of academic university study) but experts in the field at Southern Connecticut State University (or others) are available to advise and to supervise students under the aegis of faculty sponsors.

NOTE: Independent Study Proposals are due to the Dean’s Office no later than the first day of classes in which the study is proposed.
