Internship Search
An internship is a hands-on work experience that allows you to explore your major and industry. Internships are also a great way to gain relevant experience in your area of interest to make you a stronger candidate for post-graduation employment. Internships can be paid or unpaid, full or part-time, and taken for academic credit. An internship provides a practical, real-world experience where you are able to apply academic knowledge and develop new skills.
