If you think you have found an opportunity that fits these requirements, please set up an appointment with Noelani using this Calendly link: https://calendly.com/noelani_wayas/internship-approval-meeting 

Please be ready to discuss the following:

1. Name of Company

2. Please let me know if it fulfills the requirements

3. Briefly describe the company and what your role will be during your internship

4. How it will expand your ExDM learning

5. Approx start and end dates for your internship.

6. When you would like to take the Internship class/how you would like to split up the credit requirements (please read through the next section for more details)

In order to graduate you must take 1.5 credits of the Internship class, ExDM 496R.

During the Spring and Summer, the class is offered as a semester class with spring and summer combined. If you would rather take one term, it is also offered as a term class.

To enroll in the course, you will need to fill out a BYU internship application after you have gotten approval from Noelani:

1. Go to https://experience.byu.edu/do-the-application 

2. Click "Internship Application"

3. Fill out the application to the best of your ability

4. Choose ExDM 496R: Trautman for the course

5. You will receive an email once Melissa and the BYU Experiential Learning Office has approved it

6. Add the class to your schedule on MyMap (ExDM 496R)

This class does not have lectures or regular class times. Plan to spend around 2-4 hours working on assignments for every 40 hours of work you complete. There is an assignment due around every 40 hours of work you complete. You will find all the specific assignment instructions on Learning Suite after you join the course.

The following are the assignments you will complete while doing your internship:

• Setting Internship Goals

• LinkedIn & Pitch 59 post

• 3 EXDM Challenges

• Midterm Evaluation

• Career Path Interviews

• Update Pitch 59

• Update Resume

Your potential supervisor may reach out and ask about the requirements for your academic internship. You can share with them the requirements listed above. Additionally, you will need their specific guidance and help on three of your assignments (setting goals and expectations, midterm evaluation, and final evaluation) as well as permission to complete your other assignments based on your experience with their company.

After you submit your internship application, the Experiential Learning Office at BYU may reach out to them to sign a simple contract if they have not had BYU interns in the past.
