Internships

Internships are a great method for students to obtain significant work experience and explore career options in fields related to their major while also fulfilling their degree requirements. Several degrees require an internship, and students might choose to complete more as an elective. Students can obtain internships on their own, with the help of the faculty internship advisor, family and friends, or the Vocation and Professional Development office.

Students' Instructions

• Before you may register for the internship class, you must first acquire an internship
• Internship requirements include 120-150 hours of learning new skills (depending on your major). This could be accomplished through a company-sponsored internship, a part-time job, or specific tasks at your existing workplace
• Please arrange an appointment with Career Services through Handshake if you need help finding an internship

Placement Policy for Mathematics

Students who have not had college-level math transfer credit will be placed in courses based on their math SAT, ACT, or TSI scores when they first enrol at Concordia. It will be decided by the score that positions them at the highest level. Students who do not have math test scores or who want to improve their placement must complete the ALEKS assessment. 

The three developmental math courses offered at Concordia are MTH 0220 Developmental Quantitative Literacy, and  MTH 0313 Fundamentals of Math, MTH 0320 Intermediate Algebra. Students enrol in these courses for two to three hours of credit, but they do not receive college credit (as indicated by the 0 in the course number, e.g., MTH 0313); as a result, their GPA is unaffected. These courses are graded as CR (credit) or NC (no credit) (no credit). These credit hours are added to the amount required for scholarships, grants, and other financial aid.

Placement Policy for English

Students who have not had transfer credit for college-level English will be placed in courses based on their Reading/Writing SAT or Reading/English ACT scores when they first enrol at Concordia. It will be decided by the score that positions them at the highest level. A placement level is not allocated to a student who does not have ACT or SAT scores.
