Professional Internship - Hours

[Mr Bill]

What kind of hours typically accompany a professional internship? I'm a student at UCF and was wondering if it would be possible/practical to continue full time there while doing an internship.

Totally depends on your role - you could have normal office hours (8-5ish) or you could have more irregular hours like 3-midnight. It all depends on where you end up working and what you're doing.

Regardless of what PI you are doing, you can expect a minumum of 40 hours of work a week. I guess it would depend on you if you could have a full time job and be a full time student. I know most people would not be able to handle both without having one or the other suffer. You might want to consider just taking a class part time.
