INT 200 Internship
INT 200 is a two (2) unit internship course that will be included on the student’s transcript. Students that enroll in INT 200 must have a paid or unpaid internship that is an educational experiential opportunity that meets the student and internship criteria established by Occidental College and approved by the Hameetman Career Center (HCC). To further enhance the experiential learning of the internship by connecting it to a student’s academic goals and interests, INT 200 has an academic component designed in collaboration with a faculty supervisor.
INT 200 students must secure an on-campus faculty supervisor to assign, supervise, and approve the proposed academic component of the internship. The faculty supervisor must be a full-time faculty member on campus. Students are expected to meet with their faculty supervisor at least five (5) times over the course of the semester (or summer session) and spend at least 30 hours during the term working on the academic project in addition to the required internship minimum of 80 hours per semester.
Students enrolled in INT 200 receive CR/NC grades for successful completion of their internship and the following INT 200 course requirements:
- Minimum 80 hours per Semester
- Academic Component as Outlined in INT 200 Proposal
- 500-word Reflective Essay & Internship Survey
- Internship Supervisor Evaluation
- 500-word reflective essay & internship survey and internship supervisor evaluations, coordinated by the HCC, are shared with the faculty supervisor and may be used at the discretion of the faculty supervisor when grading the internship. If a student fails to complete the required minimum 80 hours per semester, academic component as outlined in their INT 200 proposal, reflective essay, and/or internship evaluation, the student will receive a NC on their transcript.
