Faculty Requesting a New Community Partner
A University Community Partnership is important because it establishes guidelines and policies for a quality internship experience. If you want to work with a particular organization that is not on the database, you may fill out a request to have an application sent to the organization.
This form will go directly to the prospective site requesting a partnership application be completed. Faculty should submit this form after confirming an employer can host their students for academic internship opportunities. Please make sure the contact information is correct before submitting.
Faculty Academic Internship Site Request
Once your site submits the application, the Career Center will review the information and establish a University Community Partnership.
Additional Information
For International Internships – Please contact our office at internships@csusm.edu at least 6 months in advance of the internship experience to start the process of onboarding an international internship site. *Note: Dependent on agreement of terms, not all sites may be approved.
