I will be assuming the internship course for my college in the Spring and am very interested in this inquiry. At SUNY at Buffalo State College we teach a
3 course load and the internship course counts as one course in that load.
The course with the previous instructor capped at 10 per semester with extra pay for the summer. In the Spring (under a new instructor) the course is capped at 24!?

In our department, we award release time to 'field experience'
coordinators; typically 1 sh per semester. Field experience supervisors are awarded .333 for each student supervised.

Subject: Faculty credit for Coordination/Supervision of Students in Field Experience/internship & Student Teaching
** Submit to the HEDIR Technology Seminar
**
Over my career of 30 years in higher education, across four universities and site visits and self-study reviews of several other universities as part of my SABPAC and SACS accreditation duties, I observed a variety of ways in which faculty were credited for coordination/supervision of field practice and student teaching responsibilities. These range from cordinating two-three student teachers at UT-Austin without any credit (just part of the job), while teaching four courses of three semester hours each as the full load) to receiving 0.33 workload unit per enrolled UG student and 0.50 workload unit per enrolled graduate student. The workload units contribute toward 12 workload units, with each semester hour of instruction worth one workload unit and a full load being 12 work units.
I have observed faculty members receiving credit for teaching a one semester hour pre-internship course and receiving credit for supervising several sections of an internship course. UG students are required to complete 12 semester hours of internship, in addition to the one semeester hour pre-internship course. In practice, the internship coordinator can fullfill a full load of instruction with responsibility for four sections of internship.
It is rare for a faculty member to be directly compensated for any instruction or field practice/internship or student teaching coordination above a full load. Generally, administration encourages work beyond the full load with insinuations of rewards in the future, based on appreciation of the overload work. If other factors do not intervene that counter the goodwill gained from frequently performing an overload, early promotion, favorable merit pay raises and public recognitions can be the rewards.
Faculty members are particularly disappointed when other factors intervene and their overload work goes unrewarded.

Subject: Internship credit
** Submit to the HEDIR Technology Seminar
**
At my institution, it depends on the number of field experience credit hours students take (practicum vs. internship) and the number of students. For years we used a formula based on student teaching supervision. There is currently some controversy regarding the formula because it is believed that student teaching supervision requires more site visits.
The student teaching formula for faculty load = # of students x credit hrs /21 Thus, if 8 students took 15 hr internships, the faculty supervision load would be 5.7, or the equivalent of two 3 credit hr courses. Or, if 21 students took a 3 credit hr practicum, the faculty load would be 3 credit hours, the equivalent of one 3 credit hr course.

I asked that question last year so I have pasted below all the responses I received from HEDIR folks. There was no consensus/uniform agreement as what supervising interns is worth as far as workload is concerned. FYI, GA ______________________________________________________________________________________
Oct. 30, 2006
Replies I received from HEDIR about faculty workload and internship:
What you receive at UMD (.25 CH per student enrolled so 4 students for
1 credit)
is just about right
We do not receive any credit for direct intern supervision
.35 of a semester hour assignment, 9 students are roughly 3 semester hours.
One student taking 6 credits of internship (in a situation similar to what you describe) gets 1 credit of load. Therefore, 3 students = 3 credits.
For a 3 credit course we need a minimum of 15 for an undergraduate class. For our 9 credit internship one would think we would only need five...according to the administrators we need 15...
1/2 credit per student intern, whether the internship is 3 credits (150
hours/semester) or 6 credits (300 hours/semester).
Our internship supervisor does all of the internship applications, placements, site visits and evaluation (we do pass/no pass). He receives credit for teaching two three-credit hour courses per year for this work. In other words instead of teaching eight three-credit courses, which is a full load for an academic year, he teaches six three-credit courses and internship counts as two courses?. for .33 unit per student, therefore 3 students for 1 WTU.
My experience is that the person who finds internships gets one course release per academic year.
Faculty get a 3 credit hour assignment no matter how many interns.
We receive faculty load credit according to the credit hours generated.
We use the same formula for student teaching loads.
HP 489 Internship (offered for 10-15 credit hrs) (faculty load = # of students x hrs /21) E.g., 6 students who take the internship for 10 hrs each is 60/21 or a faculty load of about
1 course (2.86 credit hrs)
Required faculty load is 9 credit hrs one semester and 6 the other
I'm not sure how the faculty is paid, but the students have to take a 0 credit course before their internship as a graduation requirement and that instructor recruits preceptors, helps students with resumes etc.
It is seen as one 3 hr course for me...regardless of the # of students
taking the course at one time.
We have a 1/2 time internship coordinator. She has a masters degree
and conducts a "pre internship seminar" - a 2 credit hour course
students take prior to placement...this was requested by our students
and we were able to develop it by "re arranging" our credits in the
major. She is responsible for recruitment on internship sites, all
contact, and evaluation of the student.
1 professor is assigned 15 students/interns for a 3 credit hours
course, and we currently have 2 sections?. We have just started
offering/requiring a "pre-internship course" that students must take
the semester prior to their internship. This 3 credit course is taught
by the same person covering internships.
For every 24 credits generated from internships, the faculty member
receives 1 credit of load.

Very interesting. It sounds like the credit hours students receive
varies. And I suspect the degree of supervision (e.g., site visits;
supervision of a student development of a major project that includes
a theory based intervention, budget & evaluation, etc.) required is
one of the variables in determining faculty load.

Molly: Very true. In our Community Health program, at least one site visit is required in addition to an on-campus presentation (ppt) in which we bring ALL interns back to share what they did. Plus a written report which usually gets turned in several weeks later. Many internships in other depts. involve telephone-only "site" visits and no real follow-up/ supervision yet we are all paid the same per intern. The on-campus presentations are of high quality and we always invite the Dean Provost, and President to attend which helps with program visibility as well as helping answer the age-old question "just what IS community health anyway?"
