To do so they enroll in CSC 499 as their integrative or capstone course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your assistance, students will complete a short proposal to help determine whether CSC 499 credit could be awarded for their particular internship. Criteria include the relevance of the work to be performed to the student&#8217;s field of study and the supervisory environment. Students are expected to be working on-site with full-time team members routinely engaged in similar work. One-off projects that are dissimilar to the work usually undertaken by an organization are less likely provide the context associated with a successful internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid \/ Unpaid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In our experience, almost all internships in computer science are paid. We do not consider whether an internship is paid or unpaid in evaluating its suitability for earning credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many students rely on their earnings to pay for their education. The Rhode Island Governor&#8217;s Workforce Board implements a <a href=\"https:\/\/gwb.ri.gov\/find-talent#1497991809022-1db86121-125a\">Work Immersion Program <\/a>that can cover up to 50% of the hourly wages paid to an intern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tell Us About an Internship!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be happy to post information about internships available in your organization. Within the Computer Science department, we can email announcements to undergraduate and\/or graduate student email lists and post them to this site.
