Internships

Internships provide academically-related work experience that helps you apply the concepts learned in the classroom to the real world. They are designed to give you the opportunity to work in pre-professional positions while still in school.

Internships come in many forms. Some are paid and some are non-paid positions. They may last several weeks or several months. Internships can be full-time or part-time. They can take place during the Fall or Spring semesters or during the summer. Many students do a part-time internship while taking classes during the semester.
