SUIP is responsible for the arrangement of internships taken for academic credit by students from schools and colleges across the university. Interns spend time away from campus working with a professional in a company or organization in a field that is related to their academic program, or that has links with a career direction that interests them.
Internships provide many benefits.
A few internships are taken by sophomores, but most are taken by juniors and seniors. Interns tend to be enthusiastic self-starters who respond well to new experiences, and enjoy participating in the design of their program of education. SUIP also offers the Independent Internship Option. The site may be in Syracuse or anywhere else across the nation. They then complete an application form, have it approved by their faculty sponsor, and return it to the SUIP office.
