Internship Policy

To qualify for a graduate internship appointment, the graduate student must have a minimum of twelve IUP graduate credits earned, a department minimum or 3.0 grade point average, and must meet departmental internship criteria.

No more than six internship credits may apply to a graduate degree unless written approval of the student’s department chair or graduate coordinator and the college dean (in that order) is obtained. Continuation in an internship experience by a given graduate student is contingent upon the student’s maintenance of satisfactory performance in all aspects of his/her degree program. Programmatic exceptions to the foregoing policy can be made only with the approval of the Associate Provost for Graduate Education and Academic Planning.
