Students may satisfy three hours of the Program requirement by successfully completing a one semester Internship outside of the student’s major. The internship may be taken offsite, e.g., Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), or on campus by working with a faculty member in a department other than the student’s home department. Students should work with the chair or other member of their graduate committee to put together an appropriate internship. The internship is strongly encouraged and must have the approval of the IGMCS Program Committee (see Program Administration below) prior to the start of the internship period.
