Students

Internships are a form of experiential learning, typically 1 semester (3–4 months or 10–12 weeks), that are related to your academic major or career goals.

Internships are extremely valuable, and we encourage you to consider completing one.

An internship, or experiential experience, is required in some degree programs, but even if it is not required, you can still complete an internship as well as receive course credit for it. If you are unsure if your academic program requires it, please contact us.

Internships can also be called cooperative education, practicum, service learning, etc.
