Internship candidates are registered Dowling College students who have typically completed two years of liberal arts requirements and field-related coursework, providing them with the fundamental skills necessary to take on applied work in your organization. Students who participate in the program typically register for 3 academic credits upon placement and complete a minimum of 10-15 hours a week (depending on whether the experience is paid/non-paid) over an approximate 12 week period.

4. Evaluate the student at the conclusion of the internship and provide feedback.
