Students registered in a Double Major Program and accepted by an internship institution will submit a "New Internship Project Form" on the Internship Online Management System which will describe a common project that includes the requirements for both the Major and Double Major programs. The project description will be automatically emailed to both Internship Advisors who will assess and approve the internship.

If a student’s project is rejected, he/she must find another project, write the project definition in the Internship Application Form again and wait for approval from the two Internship Advisors.
