Internships for college students

My son is a second year college student. He went to his college job fair for the first time today. Many places are looking for juniors and seniors. He has 95+ credits after this semester. The required credits for his major in engineering are 127. Will he be considered a junior? Can he apply for those jobs?

It’s less about the credits and more about what classes they’ve taken. What knowledge and skills they can offer the company.

He can always apply. The worst they can say is no.
