MST 6975 - Internship and Work Experience

Student internship designed to give practical, hands-on training and experience in a meaningful work environment, with both science and business content. The internship engages students in the issues, techniques, current practices, climate and culture of a particular industry sector. Eligible students are required to have taken a minimum of 15 credits of coursework, including MST 6010, 6011, 6012, 6020, 6021, 6022, and 6500. Internships must be approved by the program director, the student's supervisory committee, and the internship supervisor. A final exam/presentation, which is evaluated on a pass/fail basis, is given at the end of the internship. The presentation is open to the public. A final report is prepared by the student, which is considered a public document. The student's supervisory committee assigns a grade for the internship when the internship work, final presentation, and final report have been completed.
