SDSU Internship Coordinators

A note to students: Some majors require you to complete an internship. Some employers will require you to earn credit while completing an internship with their organization. Or you may want to have an internship course on your transcript. If any of this applies to you, consult the internship contact for your major/program. Remember: if you are completing an unpaid internship, you MUST be enrolled in an internship course.
