Programs/Internships

What's an internship?

An internship is a professional learning experience that offers meaningful, practical work related to a student's field of study or career interest. An internship gives a student the opportunity for career exploration, development and to learn new skills.

Interns spend their time working on relevant projects, learning about the field, making industry connections, and developing skills. Internships sometimes even lead to full-time job offers. Summer internships are typically 40 hours a week over 8 to 12 weeks.

Internships are temporary, can be unpaid or paid, designed to provide student with practical work experience.
