Internship Search

An internship is a hands-on work experience that allows you to explore your major and industry. Internships are also a great way to gain relevant experience in your area of interest to make you a stronger candidate for post-graduation employment. Internships can be paid or unpaid, full or part-time, and taken for academic credit. An internship provides a practical, real-world experience where you are able to apply academic knowledge and develop new skills. For more information on internship searching, please review our Internship Checklist handout and visit our internship webpage.
