Graduate Internship Opportunities
Please visit our comprehensive ECE 504 Internship site for information.
M.S. students can use up to eight credits of ECE 504 internship work as part of their nine elective credits for a coursework-only M.S. program or as part of their twelve elective credits for a thesis M.S. program. The co-op work must involve some type of design work to qualify, as these are graduate level credits and therefore need to be equivalent to graduate level classes.
Students obtain co-op position offers by submitting applications to appropriate companies.
To enroll in ECE 504, U.S. citizens register via myPSU after they are granted an override by department staff and submit an ECE co-op and liability release form. These must be approved by the faculty adviser and Graduate Program Director before submission.
An International student on an F1 visa must have completed three full-time terms as an enrolled M.S. student, be enrolled in ECE 504 co-op as Curricular Practical Training, and must need the ECE 504 credits as part of their nine credits of graduate electives for coursework-only M.S. or as part of their twelve credits of graduate electives for the thesis M.S. Therefore, to be eligible for co-op work, they need to save some of their elective credits.
Full instructions for obtaining CPT authorization for ECE MS on F1 visas can be found on our comprehensive ECE 504 Internship site.
