INTERNSHIP COURSES     

Internship courses (numbered 99i) help students gain experience in their field of study.  It is an individualized course, with an assigned instructor to guide the process.

It is the responsibility of the student to secure their own internship position that is directly related to their major.  the Internship Coordinator can assist students in finding leads in their chosen major, and make sure they have resources to be job-seeking ready.  

Once you have established your internship position, please contact the Work Experience Department by emailing Lauralyn Larsen, llarsen@santarosa.edu for an add code, or to schedule an appointment see the margin on the right side of this page.
