Internship

Students are required to complete a minimum of 625 hrs (4 months full-time) internship outside of their thesis lab and work. Students may complete up to a maximum of 8 months of internship work. This additional 4 months can be a continuation of the first internship, a new internship, or work related to the student’s thesis. The final decision on whether a student should focus on their thesis or seek an additional internship outside the lab lays in the student’s hands. Should the student choose to work on their thesis in these 4 months, funding is contingent on the supervisor’s ability to provide funding. Funding for industry internships is typically $10,000/4 months, and $8,000-$10,000 for thesis-based internships.
