The professional internship involves spending a minimum of twelve months and a maximum of sixteen months in a paid internship position in industry or government. Students in the 12-month internship must register in APSC 302, APSC 303 and either APSC 301 or APSC 304. Students in the 16-month placement take APSC 301, APSC 302, APSC 303 and APSC 304. The Internship Coordinator must be satisfied that the work carried out has educational merit. The course includes workshops on interviewing, resume preparation and work performance. Successful completion of the course requires submission of a report of high quality on the experience within thirty days of completion of the work period. Career Services manage the non-academic aspects of the course. Note that some programs may accept this course as part of their technical elective requirements. Credit may only be granted to students who have successfully fulfilled the necessary requirements to receive the Professional Internship designation.
