The goal of the program is to give students insights and experience in their field of interest and sponsors a chance to guide future professionals through a job shadowing program. An externship lasts 3-5 days during the University's spring break. An attempt is made to match students with sponsors in their hometown or surrounding area.
Externs are responsible for all expenses, including housing, meals and transportation.
Students are asked to submit a resume, along with a typed application and essay. Student leaders, along with professionals from The Career Center and the Alumni Association, screen the applicants and select candidates for the interview process. Interviews are conducted to select the students who will participate inthe Externship Program. These students are then placed with professionals in their field of interest. Interested students should attend one of the two information sessions.
