Some organizations have structured internship programs with strict deadlines and requirements. Others are willing to let students design and structure an internship that meets the needs of both the organization and the student. Since many internships are unpaid it is important to consider what you will receive in return for your time. The process of locating an internship can be very similar to finding a paid job, so allow time to research organizations and positions. In addition, plan early to develop both a resume and cover letter to be used in the search process.

Contact our office or submit an alumni request form to obtain names of alumni who may be able to assist you. You can do this by contacting organizations and companies of interest to you. Make sure you know exactly what type of internship experience you want before you speak with potential internship sponsors. We suggest you speak with a counselor who can help you develop a proposal, identify your interests, and clarify exactly how you can benefit an organization. If you are not able to identify an internship using these resources and strategies, then make an appointment to speak with a career counselor who can help you tailor your search.
