I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Target (Pleasant Hill, CA) in May 2012
Interview
Initial communications were strong. I had met with a recruiter at a job fair, and passed along my resume.
I also applied online on the corporate Target site. I got an interview within three weeks. The emails were not easy to decipher. I missed an action item because it was buried under tons of information. The actual interview was average. The interviewer was pleasant, but it only lasted for about 15 minutes. Post communications were very brief. I did not get the internship. I was a little displeased at the fact that Target does not discuss why you were not chosen.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Target (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
It was a two step interview process. Personable and you are able to interview with not only your direct managers but theirs as well. Provides transparency into your new team. My interview was virtual because I was moving to the area, but I'm sure they do in person for local folks.
