One way students can obtain valuable experiences necessary for the workplace is through internships.
Internships create a bridge between students' academic experiences and the world of work.
They also provide a positive experience through which employers may identify potential employees whose knowledge, skills, and values are consistent with the organization. Internships at Luther are truly a positive partnership for everyone. We are fortunate to have approximately 150 international students studying at Luther each year. Frequently, employers ask us questions about hiring international students. Many international students are allowed to work in the United States, under their student visas with certain restrictions, in both paid and unpaid internship related to their academic work.
