Introduction to CCA Architecture Internship
The purpose of the CCA Architecture Internship program is to provide advanced-level students with a grounded, real-world experience in a professional work environment. In the past three years, the nature of the architecture internship requirement by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) has changed to enable a broader number of experiences to count towards the internship requirement for licensure as described in the Architecture Experience Program (AXP). While most students will work with an architecture design office, internships with contractors, engineers, non-profits, and other organizations conducting work “in support of building or planning projects” are now eligible for the AXP and for the CCA Architecture internship requirement. Please see the AXP guidelines for further details regarding eligible internship sites.
The College maintains a number of resources for student interns and that can be found here: https://www.cca.edu/students/careers/internships/guidelines.
CCA and the Architecture Program are committed to supporting undocumented students throughout the internship search process. Undocumented students can contact their internship coordinator for help identifying options to fulfill their internship requirement.
