COM Career Services provides an internship database which contains hundreds of current listings and company information. To take an internship for credit, students must consult their Internship Director for specific requirements within each department. It is sortable by geographic location, type of position, or date of posting. The Career Resource Library allows students to research career fields, compile company and industry information, and review trade publications and annual reports.
Computers are also available to conduct on-line job searches.
