3. If you have not already done so, choose a location for the internship. See below link for a list of potential locations. If you do not see something that is of interest to you, feel free to contact the organization(s) you have in mind to determine if they have an internship program available. Please note you are responsible for contacting the agency, setting up the internship, and ensuring that the internship director agrees that you have found an appropriate placement. Keep in mind that many organizations require that you complete training before the start of your internship, thus it is important to secure your internship well before the start of the semester. Please review the time requirements listed on the course description.
