Whether you’re just beginning to think about your future or preparing to enter your field, internships can help you apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to meaningful, hands-on work.
The Career Center offers a robust amount of information about internships on their website. From exploring different internship options to getting ready to interview - make sure you do your research before you begin the search.
