Internships Internships are an extremely valuable tool for students wishing to learn more about the career paths available in their degree programs. They provide students the ability to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom, while providing the opportunity to improve the skills and experiences that employers often seek. An internship, whether on or off-campus, may be counted for credit in many programs.
Some programs even require an internship prior to graduation.
Internships are available in the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters. A professional staff is available to assist you in setting up an internship in your area of interest. A large number of students participate in research activities on a volunteer basis. Although these students don't receive credit, or a grade, they still gain all the skills and experience that will benefit them in the future. Students can volunteer at many of the research centers on campus.
