Internships
The following guidelines apply only to students who began UHP prior to Fall 2018. Students beginning Fall 2018 or later will consult the Current Honors Requirements and use the Honors WorkflowGen to document their experiences and submit them for approval.

- Associated with an organization relevant to your academic or career interests and/or future career goals, with an opportunity to connect learning in the classroom to real-world projects; and
- Comprised of clearly-defined, value-added projects benefiting the organization as well as your own growth and learning; and
- At least one semester in duration (or equivalent), representing a minimum time commitment of 45 hours to one organization or business over the course of the semester; and
