intern for six credit hours to graduate. The academic policy takes effect 
in the fall of 1996. Queens' Internship Program is funded in part by a 
$60,000 grant from the Teagle Foundation, Inc., of New York. The Teagle 
grant supplements other donor funds and will support the new program 
through 1998.
