Fall
/ Winter Program
The Fall or Winter Term program allows students
to earn a full term of academic credit in one of two ways:
1. Complete an internship in
your major field for two course credits and take two additional
one-credit courses that satisfy Wartburg Plan requirements.

possibilities (PDF). You will work at your internship
three days per week. On the other two weekdays, you will take
ID 360: The Metropolis for one credit and and another one
credit course which satisfies Wartburg plan requirements.
See courses offered for schedule
and descriptions.
2. Do your student teaching
or senior social work field experience through Wartburg West.
In addition to the credits you earn for satisfying your practicum
requirement, which involves a full-time placement in a teaching
or social work setting, you will earn an additional 1/2 course
credit by taking LS 260 Urban Lifestyles. The class is part
of all students' Wartburg West requirements and usually meets
once per week in the evening.
Summer
Program
Wartburg West accepts applications from students
who would like a summer internship in the urban setting of
Denver and have completed their third or fourth year of study
at Wartburg. Internships are arranged and supervised by the
Wartburg West directors, and students are required to live
in the college-owned housing in Denver.
It is possible for these summer
internships to begin during May Term, depending on the availability
of apartment space. Otherwise, summer internships begin the
first full week of June and finish the end of July (8 weeks).
Students may apply for either one or two credits for summer internships, depending on the number of hours involved in the internship and the tuition charge. Internships may be part-time or full-time. The minimum number of work hours is 140 hours per credit; HOWEVER, DUE TO THE SHORT TIME PERIOD FOR SUMMER, ALL SUMMER STUDENTS MUST COMMIT TO WORKING A MINIMUM OF 3 DAYS PER WEEK REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF CREDITS EARNED. Tuition is paid at the summer school rate, which is lower than the rate during the academic year.
Wartburg West directors cannot guarantee a paid internship
and will not seek out internships on the basis of compensation.
Many of the best placements are unpaid. Summer students may
take part-time jobs to earn extra money for living expenses. |
