The CCPD offers a variety of services for students to find internships. In addition to providing
counseling and resources that aid in the internship search process, part-time and full-time, zero-to-
three credit hour internship courses, which are denoted on students’ academic transcripts, are also
available through the CCPD. The full-time INT courses also
allow students to maintain their university enrollment status
while interning. Students enrolled in the program must
register for the appropriate course number (e.g. INT 1010,
1020, 3010, etc.) for each rotation to receive a grade of Pass
or No Pass. Students pay a course fee each academic term
that coincides with an internship rotation.
On-campus Internships
The University Professional Internship and Co-op (UPIC)
Program offers students paid, on-campus professional
learning experiences. Students have the opportunity to
work with Clemson faculty and staff as well as receive an
internship notation on their transcript. Enrollment in the
INT course is required for this program. In order to be
eligible for the program, a student must have completed
at least one full semester at Clemson University and be an enrolled, matriculating undergraduate
student in good standing. Student applications for future internships are typically listed in
ClemsonJobLink halfway through the semester prior to the experience.
Departments/Majors Requirements
Internships typically involve working with a professional mentor on a structured project relating to
a student’s major or career interests. Credit-bearing internship courses may be available through a
student’s academic college or department. Some majors may also require students to complete an
internship as part of the curriculum. Further inquiries about departmental internship requirements
should be directed to the specific department. To learn more about the CCPD, visit
