Why am I being charged for my senior internship?

You can find may questions regarding the internship programs here; however, there are occasions where the student will be charged for their internship credits. In most cases, students will take their senior internship in the fall semester of their senior year; however, students that transfer to Endicott or change their academic program may end up taking the senior internship during the summer as their final semester. The following summarizes the policy on the senior internship.

“The senior internship is a fundamental component of the program of study at Endicott College and is the reason that most students select Endicott over other colleges. The faculty-supervised internship experience provides the integration of theoretical learning in the classroom with real world application in the workplace. The full-semester internship is essential to the senior academic experience, which includes career preparation and a culminating thesis or capstone project. The internship, if successfully completed, carries 12 credit hours that are required to complete graduation requirements. Because this is a faculty-supervised internship, which includes site visits and regular class assignments, as opposed to non-credit bearing experiences as offered at some institutions, the College charges normal semester tuition charges.”
