ID 495 - Internship

3 Cr. Hrs.

This course is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to complete a minimum of 200 hours of work experience under the supervision of an NCIDQ credentialed Interior Designer in a professional architecture or interior design setting. The co-operating professional evaluates and relates the student’s progress to the Internship Professor using interim reports and a comprehensive employer’s evaluation summary assessment. The student is required to complete weekly journals, project assignments, business profiles, and a final report, as well as reflections of experiences encountered during the work experience as outlined in the Internship Guidelines and Manual. Student initiative in securing the Internship experience is viewed as a prelude to securing employment. Internships are designed to provide the student with insight into the design industry as well as transition and enhance the student’s knowledge and application prior to full time employment. The Internship Professor of record will visit the Internship Location during the experience to assess the students’ progress.
