INTERN PROGRAM Corban offers students interested in any program of study the opportunity to gain experience and earn credit through an intern program. Internships are required in some majors. A student, under the guidance of an experienced and approved professional in the field of study can participate. Such an internship must be coordinated with the academic advisor. Grades are pass/fail only. Generally 45 clock hours are required for each credit earned.
OFF-CAMPUS STUDY AND STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS WITH THE COUNCIL FOR CHRISTIAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Because Corban College is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), an association of more than 100 private liberal arts Christian colleges and universities, in the U.S. and Canada, committed to the integration of biblical faith, scholarship and service, a number of off-campus learning opportunities are available. These off-campus, interdisciplinary, learning opportunities are available to upper-class students and offer 16 semester hours of credit. Consult with your academic advisor to learn how these credits may apply to your major. The college registrar will be able to give you additional information about these opportunities and direct you to the campus coordinator for a specific program. All students must complete a preliminary on-campus application before submitting the application to CCCU programs. This is available in the Career and Academic Services Office. Early Admission applicants will usually be notified of action taken on a student’s application before the regular deadline. Application deadlines: Fall Semester - March 1 (early admission) and March 15 (regular deadline); Spring Semester - September 1 (early admission) and October 15 (regular deadline). SEMESTER PROGRAMS Australia Studies Centre (ASC) The ASC offers students a semester at the Wesley Institute, in Sydney, Australia, where they can explore their artistic talents through Wesley Institute’s outstanding division of Ministry & the Arts. Faculty trained and working in the professional performing arts scene in Sydney will guide students in their thinking through the Christian’s role in culture, whether classical or pop culture. The ASC utilizes a combination of classroom training at the Wesley Institute and experiential learning in the beautiful Australian context. Home stays, service learning and travel around Australia are important components of the ASC. Students will examine the many faces of Australia. They will observe its beautiful landscape, live in the cosmopolitan melting pot of Sydney, serve the poor of Sydney’s multi-cultural ghettos, engage the political capital Canberra and its power players, and come to know the traditions of Aborigines. ASC students participate in the core experiential course and choose the remainder of their credits from Wesley Institute’s arts and ministry courses. ASC students receive up to 16 hours of credit. American Studies Program (ASP) Founded in 1976, the American Studies Program has served hundreds of students as a “Washington, D.C. campus.” ASP uses Washington as a stimulating educational laboratory where collegians gain hands on experience with an internship in their chosen field.
