The University Career Services Internship Program gives students a structured educational experience integrating academic studies with learning through productive work experiences in a field related to their major or career goals. An internship allows students to acquire essential practical skills by being exposed to the world of work. An internship may be full or part-time and may be paid or unpaid. With departmental approval students may receive credit for an internship experience. Internship experience provides students with a competitive edge in today s job-market.
Internships help students make career decisions.
Students who participate in internships tend to have a clearer sense of career objectives and increased motivation for school. Internships develop a student s professional and personal skills. Working as an intern begins the process of networking early and places the student in contact with potential employers. There are no college restrictions. This excludes Journalism, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Allied Health majors.
