CHEM 495Internship in Chemistry

A supervised work experience in an area of the student’s interest that complements formal course work. The internship program is offered through cooperation of participating institutions that provide guidance for the interns. A minimum of 160 on-site hours is necessary to complete the internship in Chemistry and must be verified by the on-site supervisor and a member of the Chemistry faculty. The 160 hours must be completed within one (1) semester. The internship in Chemistry may be taken for one (1) course credit in the major as a free elective. A student may not enroll in an internship more than twice (two course credits). Any student interested in participating in an internship must consult with the department chair prior to the semester of the desired internship. A written plan for the internship must be submitted by the student to the department chair. The plan must be approved by the department chair as well as the faculty member who serves as internship coordinator. The student must meet with the faculty internship coordinator at least four (4) times during the semester. The grade for the internship is assigned by the internship coordinator with input from the on-site supervisor. Data gathered during the internship may not be utilized for CHEM 480 Chemical Research I or CHEM 498 Chemical Research II. Framingham State University, overall QPA of 2.50 with a 2.70 average in courses for the major, and approval of the department chair. CHILD AND FAMILY STUDIES COURSES
