Student interning, can she still be claimed as a dependant?

We reside in Wisconsin and my daughter is attending her final year at an in-state college. Since the end of May she has been interning (Called a Practicum)  in Phoenix, Az.  This is a paid internship (practicum) that is paid for by the college she is attending.  So while she is doing this practicum, she is also taking classes with the college.  My question is can she still be claimed as a dependent on our taxes?  She hasn't resided in our house for 1/2 the year as she has been in Phoenix.  I'm thinking the answer is no, but wanted to get clarification.

 

Thanks


Joe
