The internship courses should be taken your final two semesters at Texas State. In addition, you must have a minimum grade of "C" in all major (HA) courses and a major (HA) GPA of 2.25. You are eligible to apply for internship during the last semester of your junior year.

Students do have the option of enrolling in a residency (HA 4848) provided that all coursework will be completed prior to the residency semester. The residency will require approximately 40 hours per week. The above minimum grade and GPA requirement must be met prior to enrolling in residency (HA 4848).

All internship and residencies require you to fill out an application and health report, found here. Have both forms completed and returned by the dates shown above.  Only submit a copy of your health form and keep the original for your records.  Occasionally you will be asked for a copy of your health report by your facility, so it is important that you keep the original.  You will also have to purchase limited liability insurance through the College of Health Professions. Please contact Julie Carroll for rates and due dates.
