The program is divided into three specializations. Although the specializations share some common core requirements and classes, each one is unique in its faculty and opportunities. Come explore the possibilities.<br>During the first semester, all students are given the opportunity to shadow as many of the current second year students as possible. After acquiring a greater understanding of the responsibility with each particular internship, in January of the first year, all students will rank their top choices for internships. During the months of February and March, students will interview at their top 35 choices. After interviews, each student will again re-rank their choices after having a chance to meet members of each department. Internship advisors will also rank their choices after interviews. Upon completion, students will be placed in the internship that best reflects their preference and the internship supervisor's preference. Typically students will be notified of their internship in late March or early April, depending on time constraints.
