Employer Information

The Internship Program at Bridgewater College is designed to give students a better understanding of their career objectives through on-the-job experience. Supervision of an intern is provided by an appropriate faculty member (the "cooperating professor"), by a staff member of the agency or business in which the student is an intern (the "site supervisor"), and by the Director of Internships

The expectations of the site supervisor are:

• To provide a meaningful and realistic experience for the intern
  
  
• To give the intern adequate direction and supervision
  
  
• To complete a midterm and final evaluation form.
  
  
• To bring any problems or deficiencies to the attention of the cooperating
  professor or the Director of Internships.

Because Bridgewater College students are insured against injury 24 hours a day, on and off campus, the sponsoring agency's liability for an intern is very limited.

To be considered for an internship, a student must have junior or senior status and at least a 2.0 quality point average. A three-credit internship involves a minimum of 120 hours of participation, and we expect the interns to be diligent and professional in carrying out their duties. Each intern submits a weekly report to the Director of Internships and copies are sent to the cooperating professor. Each intern also submits a final report and a copy of the report is sent to the cooperating professor. Internships are graded on an S or U basis.
