INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS

Also, see current Schedule of Classes

There are three types of Internship Programs:

(1) General Internship
(2) Internship
(3) Cooperative Work Experience

• Students enhance classroom learning in these programs by working on  on-campus or off-campus jobs.  Students achieve learning objectives through work experiences designed to help them expand their career options, learn about the "work culture" and develop new job skills.
• Students earn college credit based on the number of internship hours worked. Each unit of college credit requires 75 paid or 60 unpaid (volunteer) hours of work per semester.

• Students are required to enroll in 7 or more units at SMC during the fall and spring semesters including the internship class.  During the summer and winter sessions, students are required to enroll in an extra 3-unit class in addition to at least one unit of internship credit.  Students may avoid the extra unit requirement during the summer and winter sessions if they have been enrolled in 7 units at SMC in the previous semester.
