For clarification of eligibility, contact the International Student Services Office or consult the BCIS Web site at www.immigration.gov.
Practicum
Graduate students enrolled in chemistry, civil engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics may have an opportunity for employment for 10-20 hours per week in a practicum program that partners industry and the university. Generally, the practicum is on-site work in an industrial setting. Students are assigned technically challenging projects with a near-term economic significance. Participating students will be enrolled in EGT 500 for zero credit hours.
Internship
Engineering internships provide engineering students an opportunity to participate in a full-time internship semester and/or summer away from campus providing career-related work experience. Participating graduate students will enroll in EGT 510 for zero credit hours. While on a full-time internship assignment, students are considered to have full-time student status, making normal progress toward a degree in a recognized University program, and are entitled to all student privileges at the University. Also while on a full-time internship assignment, students may register for additional hours of classroom study upon departmental approval.
This is the official catalog for the 2024-2025 academic year. This catalog serves as a contract between a student and Bradley University. Should changes in a program of study become necessary prior to the next academic year every effort will be made to keep students advised of any such changes via the Dean of the College or Chair of the Department concerned, the Registrar's Office, u.Achieve degree audit system, and the Schedule of Classes. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of the current program and graduation requirements for particular degree programs.
