Internship Information

Internships are a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom, with practical application and skill development in a professional workplace setting. They are typically short-term (one or two semesters) and have clearly defined objectives and goals that align with the student’s educational program (National Association of Colleges & Employers).

For students, internship experience provides clear benefits: higher starting pay compared to students who did not engage in internships, and more job offers overall upon graduation (NACE).

For employers, internships provide the best ROI as a recruiting strategy, compared to career fairs, on-campus visits, or other activities (NACE). Employers interested in starting an internship can click here* for more information and assistance.
