The Capstone Internship Program provides college credit for work experience in a field related to the student's degree program. As the capstone course for the program, Capstone internship integrates the knowledge, concepts and skills associated with a program of study and helps students understand the "real world" applications of their academic studies. It is one of the final courses taken in the sophomore year. The student's work experience must meet identified learning outcomes in order to get course credit.
A.S./A.A.S. Sophomores who have completed 30 credit hours, officially declared their major, and have a current GPA of at least 2.0 are eligible for MCC Internship Program. Permission from your program manager is required.
Secure an internship site prior to the semester in which you would like to enroll in the course. Students should plan to work from 10 to 15 hours per week. Students are required to work a minimum of 50 hours per credit hour.
Check out the internships listed with the Online Career Office (OCO) on the Career Resource Center web page. If an internship related to your field is not advertised on the OCO, stop by the Career Resource Center or contact Haley Richardson, richarh@mccfl.edu Career Advisor, for assistance with securing a placement site.
