Question: What requirements must I satisfy for internship credit?
Answer:
All Graduate internship work assignments must be related to your academic major. Graduate intern assignments must be paid, although compensation varies from one employer to another. Each Graduate student is asked to provide updated contact information on their work supervisor; at the end of the work semester, the work supervisor will receive an e-mail request to complete an online performance evaluation of the graduate student. Finally, each student is asked to log into CareerBuzz to complete a work report at the end of each work assignment.
Question: Can I change Graduate internship employers?
Answer:
After a student accepts an internship offer, changes to a different employer for the same work semester are not allowed. If an offer from a different employer is made after you have already accepted, you may discuss the possibility of working with the new employer on a different semester than the term you have already committed to work.

Question: Can I work part-time as a Graduate Intern?
Answer:
The Graduate Internship Program allows the flexibility to work full-time or part-time with academic departmental approval. Graduate students may not exceed twenty-one hours credit in a given semester, including the audit hours awarded for Graduate work assignments. Part-time Graduate Co-op classes are available. Students who work fifteen to twenty hours per week register for INTN 6009. This class awards nine hours audit credit. Students who work ten to fourteen hours per week register for INTN 6006, which awards six hours audit credit. Students may receive special approval to work fewer than ten hours per week and will enroll in INTN 6003 which awards three hours audit credit. No fewer than six hours work per week will be considered for Graduate internship credit. Graduate intern classes are approved for a minimum number of weeks equal to the time scheduled for academic classes at the Atlanta campus. Graduate internship students must work a minimum of 16 weeks for a fall and spring semester work assignment. Summer work assignments must be a minimum of ten weeks. No partial semester work assignments are approved for Graduate Internship credit except in some International Internship situations.
Question: I am an international student on F-1 visa; Am I limited to 12 months internship experience?
Answer:
International students on F-1 visas who register full-time internships as Grad Co-op assignments are eligible for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) There is no limit to how much CPT may be worked as long as it is approved as an academic part of your degree. However, if you work more than 365 days of Full-Time CPT, you will forfeit 100% of your Optional Practical Training (OPT) available to you at your current degree level. Most students are not willing to give up the after graduation OPT, so students coordinate their CPT work amount with the Office of International Education (OIE) so they do not exceed 365 days of FT CPT. Part-time CPT is currently not counted toward that 365 day amount that leads to OPT forfeiture.
NOTE: part-time CPT is available up to a maximum of 20 hours’ work per week.
