The Career Center Internship Program offers a one-stop internship service for students. Internships (also known as field studies, volunteer experiences and co-ops) are meaningful, career-related work experiences that allow students to apply academic knowledge to the world of work. Internships are available for pay, non-pay, stipend or academic credit and are important for placement after graduation.
