Internships
Internships provide students with an opportunity to work in a job that is directly related to their particular field of study, while bridging that important gap between classroom instruction and practical work experience:
- All RRCC internships are credit bearing, from 1 to 6 credits, and subject to current tuition rates.
- Students enrolled in an internship work a minimum of 45 hours for every 1 credit earned. Typical internships are for 3 credits (135 work hours).
- Interns earn a letter grade.
- Internships can be paid or unpaid.
- Students in unpaid internships can apply for an Internship Grant.
Qualifications
- All internships are reserved for currently enrolled Red Rocks Community College students. We also welcome interested RRCC alumni to apply.
- Fundamental knowledge in a RRCC field of study, usually one or two semesters of completed RRCC course work.
- A cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 is required.
- An Instructor Recommendation form signed by the instructor who will supervise the internship.
- An internship site. Students who wish assistance in seeking an internship site are encouraged to contact the internship coordinator for an appointment.
