Pre-Professional Programs Internships Registrar's Office Internships Internships are an important part of the Wells experience. Through internships you gain practical experience while earning academic credit. You also learn whether a profession might be right for you and answer for yourself, in the most practical terms, how your education will lead to a job. You can work with the college s Career Development Services to determine how best to connect your area of study and career direction. Whenever possible, you will be paired with an alumna mentor who will guide you through the experience.
Many colleges restrict internships to juniors and seniors.
At Wells, however, you can hold an internship as early as your first year. The Wells Corporate Affiliates Program was founded in 1986 to prepare women for leadership in the corporate world and provides unique opportunities for pre- professional training. The financial portfolio is managed by students in the investment strategies class under the supervision of an economics and management faculty member. The program brings leaders to campus from the world of commerce to visit classes, present lectures, and meet individually with students. Students consult with guest speakers and research investments to make buy, sell, or hold recommendations.
