Internships

Several departments offer opportunities to combine practical experience with classroom training through academic internships that students can utilize to earn credit toward graduation. To apply for elective internships, students must have completed 45 credits (at least 15 of them at Rockford University for transfer students) with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. Students must engage in internship activity a minimum of three hours per week for each internship credit taken. Students may earn up to eight credits in internships, but internship credit may not exceed 15 percent of students’ total credits.

Students who transfer to Rockford University to enroll in a foreign study program which includes an internship must have completed a minimum of 45 credits with a 2.5 cumulative GPA at their home institutions.
