i am on my internship right now, and i prefer the school for 3 years, work for a year, and back to graduate, it gives you and inside track with the comapny that hires you on cause they spend a year training and developing you, which really doesnt matter now-a-days with everyone looking to hire, as well you get some great oppertunities to do interesting work, not just straight summer student bitch work for 4 months
the internship program will take anyone with a passing GPA (>2.0), all the student has to do is attend 8 sessions and do 4 reports over the 12-16 months
the best part is they look for companies for you, I had never heard of half the companies who were looking to hire interns and it really helps to see the broad range of work you can do within your program
