Student Services - Internships
What is an internship or a Co-operative Education experience?
Internships exist in a variety of forms: some are paid, some are not; some are supervised and give college credit and some do not. The difference between an internship and other forms of employment is that all internships--no matter what kind--provide career-beginners with a temporary, "test-it-out" career-related experience. Check out our presentation on the value of internships. (best viewed in IE)
The Center offers all kinds of internships to meet your needs whether you just want some related experience to test a career interest or you want a structured, credit-bearing, departmentally supervised experience through Cooperative Education.
