About

For students who do not yet have sufficient HR experience to have the internship requirement waived, it is necessary to complete an internship and to enroll in Introduction to Human Resources.

Weekly Activity Log
Employer Evaluation Form

  1. Before committing to an internship, please contact your advisor to discuss the details of your specific internship and the Graduate HRD program internship requirements.
  2. When you are hired, have your supervisor write your advisor within two weeks describing job activities and expectations. This can be emailed, mailed, or faxed to your advisor.
  3. Each week, you should fill out the Weekly Activity Log to keep track of your hours and activities. These weekly logs should be given to your supervisor at the time of your performance appraisal for him/her to evaluate and send on to your advisor with the Employer Evaluation Form.
    Note: You must complete 120 hours to get credit for the internship.
