Prerequisites for doing an internship

Before doing an internship you must have completed or currently be registered in the prerequisite courses for the type of internship you are doing. Refer to the table below.

Attach a copy of your most recent transcript to the Internship Agreement. An unofficial transcript is fine. Just print it from MySJSU.

If you are currently registered in one or more of the prerequisite courses, it is your responsibility to submit a final transcript to the faculty internship supervisor.

You must have a minimum 2.0 average in your JMC courses to be eligible for an internship.
