Internships allow students to gain practical, hands-on experience and develop skill sets that are frequently in high demand by employers. Internships involve a work placement where you are exposed to the main areas of operation of your employer. Each work placement is unique, and you benefit from a program developed exclusively for you by your employer and your instructor.
As a full-time undergraduate student (with a CGPA of 2.7 or higher) in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, you have the opportunity to participate in the Internship program.
The internship should be a minimum length of 10 weeks, with the student working 35 hours a week or more. FAES 200 is a non-credit (pass or fail) course. FAES 300 is a 3-credit course, and you will receive a final grade on your transcript. The internship should be related to your field of study.
