Internships

An internship is one type of experiential learning. It allows you to have hands-on experience in an area you are looking to explore. Internships are just one step on the path to your dream career. Get started on that pathway by meeting with one of our Internship Team Members or by exploring the resources here.

Internship Team appointments cover the whole spectrum of internship searching from getting started, to resume reviews, to searching, to interview prep. Schedule an appointment here.

The Internship Prep Program is a program specifically designed to assist undergraduate students with navigating the entire process for securing experiential learning opportunities. Find out more information about internships for credit here.
