How much time does an externship during the regular academic year require?
For the two-credit externship, you must work at least eight (8) hours per week during the fourteen (14) weeks classes are in session for a total of 112 hours. For the four-credit externships, you must work at least 16 hours a week. Under special circumstances, the Externship Director may grant some flexibility in the number of weeks worked although the number of hours completed cannot be less than 112 hours. Externships may start when classes begin and must end when classes end. No externships can be conducted during winter break. If you are enrolled in a full-time externship, you are expected to work full-time for fifteen weeks during the fall or spring semester and eight weeks in the summer.
