The internships take place each Spring semester (mid-January - April 30). Hours are distributed differently at each internship—employers and interns work together to determine an appropriate schedule. The program requires that interns work a minimum of 8 hours per week, but no more than 15 hours per week.

Participating students will get first-hand experience in a field of interest, giving them the opportunity to apply their skills in a professional environment. Additionally, this is a great way for students to build or expand their professional network.

Yes! If your academic program or college provides an internship course, you are welcome to enroll in it for academic credit. Talk to your academic advisor on how to enroll for the correct course. Students may also enroll in ACE 400 as an elective credit if their college does not provide a specific internship course. Please check with your academic advisor to learn more.

Any Â鶹ӳ»­ undergraduate student enrolled full-time with a minimum 2.75 University cumulative GPA is eligible to apply. Seniors who are planning to graduate in May are exempt from a full-time course load.

All students who accept a Pack Internship position are required to complete a mandatory student orientation in December to discuss the program's expectations. Once a student completes the orientation, they may begin their positions the first week of the upcoming Spring semester.
