You need to visit the Career Services Office several times each year to discuss your career goals and ambitions. Internships are an important part of career planning and an area where the Career Services Office can help you. Internships and career choices are a lot like buying a car. Most of us don't go out and purchase a car without at least test-driving it first. The same concept should be true for your career.
Internships are a great way to do just that.
Internships can also help you find the job you want following graduation. More and more companies are looking for students with internship experiences because they know the advantages these students have in entry-level positions. Internships on the MU campus generally take two forms. The first is the traditional summer internship. This type of experience lets you work during the summer in a chosen career area for college credit.
