The department maintains contact with a number of business, governmental and community organizations, both in Rhode Island and out of state. It is also possible to get internship credit through students own contacts, if approved by the department internship coordinator. Interns are generally not paid . This can only be done through the override process. If you have arranged a position for yourself, be sure to have it approved as soon as possible, but no later than the first week of the semester you are interning.
Many students receive job offers from the organizations they intern for.
In any case, our students have found the vast majority of internships to be positive experiences. All rights reserved.
