ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
academic area of the proposed internship or equivalent experience as evaluated by the Faculty Supervisor and the Director of Career Services. Application and arrangements are to be made well in advance of the project, and planning is to be initiated with the student’s academic advisor and the Director of Career Services. All programs should be given either a departmental or a divisional designation and a descriptive title. The Director of Career Services will determine the course number. Students must have at least a 2.25 GPA at the time of enrollment or registration in the course. The credit earned in an internship is intended to represent an enrichment experience. Therefore, internship 295 or 495 credit will generally not count toward meeting requirements in either a major or minor program. HIS/PSC495 – The Washington Center (8–16 hours) Eureka College has developed a partnership with The Washington Center, located in Washington, D.C., which enables students to participate in a ten-‐week or semester long internship. This experience is open to all majors and provides the following: academic credit from Eureka College; Presidential Lecture Series; Congressional Breakfast Series; placement in a national agency located in the nation’s capital. A Program Supervisor is assigned to the student to place in the program meeting the student’s objectives and to guide the student through the internship experience. Costs are paid through Eureka College. Students enroll in the program through the Eureka College Career Services Office. Students are responsible for travel and housing arrangements; housing is available with The Washington Center.
Special Topics Courses 299/399 – Special Topics (2–4 credit hours) Special topics courses deal with topics or problems not treated in regular course offerings. They provide students with courses in areas of special interest on an occasional basis and give professors’ opportunities to teach in areas of special interest, sometimes as pilots for new regular courses. Such courses will normally be included in published semester schedules.
