2026 Program Dates

Spring/Summer: May 4th-August 7th (Internships begin in mid-to-late May)

Basic Structure

Spring/Summer: 

• In May & June, students intern part-time (10-15 hours per week) and take a full course load
• Internships increase to 20-25 hours per week in July with no classes

Internship Agreement & Processes

• Every student and internship supervisor are required to sign an internship agreement at the start of the semester. Check out a sample of the agreement here. 
• Semester in Detroit does not keep timesheets for our students unless internship attendance becomes an issue. It is up to community partners to determine whether they would like for students to record their hours.
