Internships

Provide a learning experience that may or may not be related to your major and may vary in length. They most often coincide with a semester or the summer. Internship assignments may be paid, unpaid, and college credit may or may not be given. There is usually no formal faculty involvement in an internship as there is in a co-op. However, student interns may choose to consult a faculty member for advice and perspective on the work assignment.  Students who are successful in obtaining an internship are encouraged to enter the employment data into Handshake.  Some internships may be eligible for conversion to co-op status.  Please check with your Career Advisor to explore this option.
