Supervised Internship Program

The Supervised Internship course may be taken as a free elective, business elective or a required course for specified majors (Management, Human Resources Management, and Supply Chain & Logistics). Students should consult with their academic advisor or with the faculty member responsible for the Supervised Internship course within their major. Credit for these courses is 3 s.h. although some majors offer a 6 s.h. option in the summer. 

 

Position Requirements

Positions for which Internship credit is granted should ideally reflect a level of responsibility that would provide the students with insight into issues of their field of study. Such positions may be compensated or uncompensated. Positions that may qualify could include on-campus positions offered by Rowan University or the College of Business, off-campus positions publicized by the Supervised Internship course, or positions secured through a student's own efforts. Final approval of the position rests with the supervising faculty member within the student's area of specialization. If a student works with an employer, that work supervisor may be asked to provide an evaluation of the student's performance.

  2. Develop a strong resume and cover letter.

Step 3: Student Internship Site Agreement

(Please open the attached document)

  • Supervised internship instructor checks to see if an agreement is already on file at Rowan. For questions about on-file agreements, please contact internships@rowan.edu. If no form on file, then:
    • Supervised Internship instructor facilitates college-level dean signing.
    • Supervised Internship instructor facilitates site where the intern is being hosted, signing.
    • Once the internship is approved at the department/college level, and the site has signed the internship agreement, the supervised internship professor should send it to legalreview@rowan.edu for review and approval for signature by Rowan. 
    • The Office of General Counsel will then review and send it to the appropriate contact person for the college with approval to execute. Executed copies will be provided to the requester (usually the internship coordinator for the college or department) and internships@rowan.edu.
