students must select an internship site or project (these can be on or off campus; see below) and contact a WS faculty member or faculty affiliate who can supervise the internship.
Internship guide and application form
The student, faculty member, and, if appropriate, on-site supervisor work together to write a description of the internship and the student's responsibilities and fill out the internship application form.
Once the application form is completed, the student and faculty member submit it, along with the student's name, identification number, and the number of credits for the internship, to the WS director, who forwards the information to the IDST advising staff. Only the IDST advising staff can enroll students for WS internship credit .

Students must fill out a special application form that must be approved by the IDST chair in addition to the WS Director.
Generally, faculty will approach qualified students concerning this opportunity.
The application form for teaching-assistant internships is available from the IDST advising staff; for teaching-assistant interns, this form substitutes for the WS internship guide and application.
As in the regular internship enrollment process, only IDST advising staff can enroll students in WS 4754 for a teaching-assistant internship.
