least one area. Students must present a cumulative grade-point average of at least

after the sophomore year and December of the senior year. The earliest point at

INTERNSHIPS FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT
Consult the individual schools' sections of this catalog for information on
internships for academic credit within a major or degree program and for policies
regarding limitations on internship credit.
A one-credit internship, INTR 199, is available to students in the College who are
seeking opportunities with organizations that require interns to receive credit for
their experience. INTR 199 credit applies toward the degree but does not apply to
any specific degree requirements. This course is offered only on a
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis and counts within the credit limit for S/U
courses. It may be taken more than once but will count as credit toward the degree
only once. Before registering, students must apply for this internship course with
their academic advisor.
CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION
A co-operative education program is offered for seniors in Chemical Engineering.
Consult the School of Science and Engineering for details.
Many departments and programs offer to a limited number of students with
superior scholastic standing creative opportunities for independent study normally
under the direction of full-time faculty members. The work may take the form of
directed readings, laboratory or library research, or original composition. Instead
of traditional class attendance, the student substitutes conferences, as needed, with
the director. An independent study is a stand-alone course that may not be added
to another course and may not replicate existing courses.
LESS COMMONLY TAUGHT LANGUAGES
Motivated students with demonstrated achievement in foreign language may
enroll for courses offered in the Less Commonly Taught Languages Program.
