All students in the Ferguson College of Agriculture are encouraged to complete at least one internship experience prior to graduation, and some areas of study require internship experiences as a part of their degree program.  For students with required internship experiences, enrollment in an internship course and earned academic credit for an internship experience is required.  However, for students having no internship requirements within their degree plan, academic credit is not required for internship experiences; these students may choose to enroll in an internship course and seek academic credit for an internship experience if doing so is in their best interest or is an employer requirement for the internship.  Students seeking academic credit for their internship experiences must visit with their individual academic advisor and enroll in the appropriate course for their area of study.
