An internship is on-the-job experience at an off-campus work setting directly related to your career interests and major field of study.   It is work experience that is supervised, where you learn about the demands and requirements of a profession and industry, and have intentional learning goals.

Some reasons you might consider an internship:

  • Gain practical experience and develop marketable job skills in your chosen career field

  • Work with qualified professionals in your field

  • Apply skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to on-the-job experiences

  • Make important contacts and references in the business world that may lead to future job offers

  • Evaluate potential employers

An internship can be paid, or non-paid, or stipend based; last a few weeks to 2 years; and may be taken for academic credit.
