* The internship is a mandatory course of an undergraduate program with the purpose of providing students with an opportunity to have professional work experience in a setting related to the student's major. The duration of an internship is based on the program of study. However, all the undergraduate students from Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Architecture and Interior Design are expected to spend at least sixteen (16) weeks at an organization providing internship experience.
