What is an Internship?

An internship is a work-based learning experience related to your career goals and can be an important and impactful part of your career journey.

Internships:

  • Can be done for electives or required credit (depending on your major)
  • Can be paid or unpaid
  • Unpaid internships should be done for academic credit to provide you with worker’s compensation coverage
  • Can be done full-time or part-time
  • Can be done at public, private, non-profit, or government organizations
  • Are great for clarifying your career goals, enhancing classroom learning with on-the-job experience, building your resume, acquiring skills, and creating your professional network
