ML 420 Internship in Modern Language     (0 credits)

This course provides practical language and cultural awareness application to advanced students by allowing them to conduct business in a language other than English. The course consists of a part-time internship that students can complete in the fall, spring or summer. Whenever possible, it is expected that students will apply for an internship in a field in which they would like to work after graduation. Students may work closely with the professor in selecting and applying for the internship, they must have their selection of internship approved by a faculty member, and at the end of the internship they must show the professor proof that they completed the number of hours jointly determined by the student and internship employer. This course has no credits, which means that students must be paid for this internship, unless it is for a non-profit. This also means that students who are not U.S. citizens may not take this course, but should instead take ML421 for three credits.
