reading, and exams, but rather from on-thejob experience.

The online Internship Course (INT) is mandatory
for all UPIC interns and is linked to the program to
serve several purposes:
To align the internship more closely to
an academic component
To certify that learning outcomes are in fact
accomplished.
To provide students with an official transcript
designation upon successful completion.
