You Are Here
If you're considering an academic internship, follow these steps:
1) Meet with your Academic Advisor to explore the timing and "fit"
for an internship.
2) Determine your status
- Do you currently have at least a 2.25 overall grade point average?
- Will you have at least 48 semester hours completed by the end of this current semester?
If you answered "yes" to both questions, you are currently eligible to apply for
an academic internship.
3) Schedule an appointment with the appropriate
academic-department faculty liaison.
These faculty members can suggest options for possible internships or direct you
to other faculty who can help.

4) Be prepared for your meeting with your Department Liaison.
- Bring an updated copy of your resume with you to the meeting. If you do not have
one, contact the Center for Personal and Career Development for assistance (804-752-3103).
5) Obtain an Internship Application.
- Internship Applications are available in the Registrar's Office in Peele Hall (also
on the Registrar's Web site under Student Forms) or from Elsie Cimorelli in the
Center for Personal and Career Development, located in Thomas Branch Hall, Room
127. Please enter through the Henry Street entrance.
6) Complete the Internship Application.
Work with your faculty supervisor to complete your application. Submit it to the
Registrar's Office no later than the
deadlines listed on the form. You do not need the signatures of the internship
director or the registrar before submitting your internship application.
7) Get all your questions answered.
If you encounter problems or have questions not answered by the department liaison
or your faculty supervisor, please feel free to contact
Dr. Ed Showalter, Director of the Bassett Internship Program.
