PHYS 129 Enterprise Experience Internship
Practical training experience through a full-time internship at an institution outside of the Dartmouth College campuses (Lebanon and Hanover). The goal of this course is to provide students with real-world, hands-on experience in a field directly related to their PhD research, by engaging with existing enterprises through internship during graduate school. Such experience will expose students to diverse career opportunities and enhance their research during graduate school, by providing them with lead-time to focus and network in a field of interest prior to completion of their PhD. In order to obtain credit, at the end of the internship, students must submit a written report to their PhD committee and the Physics and Astronomy department's graduate curriculum and policy committee. At the discretion of their committee, they may also be requested to make an oral presentation on the internship project open to members of the Physics and Astronomy department.
This course may be taken one time, though under special circumstances, a student can petition to take a second internship. This course is counted as a graduate research course.
Prerequisite
Approval of their Thesis Advisor (primary mentor), Thesis Advisory Committee (if in place at the time), and Graduate Curriculum Committee prior to term of enrollment.
