An internship is a great way to gain experience in your major while making important professional connections at the same time.
Internships can vary in length, amount of pay, area of specialty, location, and responsibilities.
Internships offer invaluable experience in a chosen field of study. Employers seek out this experience in job candidates. The Alumni-Career Connection can provide you a list of employers to contact for job shadowing and informational interviewing opportunities. An informational interview provides you an opportunity to learn about a career by asking questions. You can take what you learn and either re-affirm your career choice or open doors of opportunity.
