An internship is a temporary work experience that allows the individual to get some hands-on, real world, entry-level experience under their belt with the supervision and training of an experienced professional. Some internships are paid while others are unpaid, but the main focus of an internship is on experience. An internship should include learning goals that connect concepts learned in the classroom to real world scenarios in an effort to gain practical experience and help the intern accomplish their career goals. Internships are important because they offer a number of benefits to both students and employers.

This is like practice for the real world. Students must find and apply for their own internship. Our office helps students connect to opportunities that are available every semester. These can be both paid and unpaid. Sometimes your current job can count. Please reach out to Cathy Chartrand, your internship coordinator, for an appointment. She can connect you to current opportunities, review your resume, help prepare you for upcoming interviews, and when you land the opportunity, you must add the course. No prior credit can be given.
