Application Procedures In order to establish an internship for academic credit at Willamette University, you must complete the following steps:  1. Determine what kind of internship experience is appropriate to complement your academic program (e.g., political, social service, environmental, journalistic). 2. Consult a faculty member in the appropriate department or special program to determine if the internship opportunity of your choice is available and what requirements must be met. 3. Determine which faculty member in the appropriate department or special program will serve as the on-campus supervisor. Work with that faculty member to define the internship and determine whether course prerequisites have been met and how it will be evaluated for assigning the grade. 4. Determine who will serve as off-campus supervisor (the person to whom you will report and who will provide an evaluation of your work). 5. Arrange a meeting with the two supervisors to clarify: the nature of your intern responsibilities; the expectations of both supervisors; the manner of evaluating the internship; and the number of academic credits to be received for the internship (normally an internship will lead to one academic credit)  6. Complete the Willamette University Internship Application form and return it to the Office of the Associate Dean, College of Liberal Arts (Smullin 108). 7. Check your total credit load with the addition of the internship. Additional fees are charged for over 4 1/2 credits (in some cases 4 3/4).
