Internships
Gaining Experience for Jobs and Graduate School

Internships and part-time jobs help you apply theoretical classroom learning to real-life situations.

This process allows you to test your career interests and goals, gain valuable on-the-job experience, and begin to establish valuable networking contacts for your job search.

It's never too early to begin thinking about internships and other opportunities. Investigate volunteer positions which offer the advantage of short-term commitments. Explore student organizations related to your interests. They are a fun way to participate in academic and career-related activities.
