Internships

We connect students with more than 300,000 national employers who are seeking both employees and interns. Career Services can help you prepare for your internship by assisting with your search. We can provide guidance as you develop a professional resume and individual cover letters for each position. We can also schedule opportunities for you to practice your interview skills.

Internships can be in traditional work settings, or they can come from volunteer opportunities that lead to internships. They can also be virtual positions that allow you to conduct work remotely.

Prior to your internship, you'll develop learning objectives that outline how it meets your academic, career and personal goals.

Internship Program Details

An internship can serve as a trial-run for your chosen field. This experience allows you to explore your future career in more depth, gain professional skills outside of the academic setting, and network with others in the profession.

Internships typically count for between one and three credit hours, regardless of whether the internship is paid or unpaid.

Most departments have unique internship eligibility requirements. In general, you'll need to have at least 60 credit hours and maintain a 2.5 GPA to conduct an internship.

Internships conducted during the school year are covered by your semester tuition. During the summer, internships that are counted toward credit will be charged per credit hour based on the evening program tuition rate.

Before registering for an internship class, you'll need an internship contract approved by our Career Services Center.
