Internships
Often considered one of the most significant experiences on a resume, internships are intentional, structured opportunities where you can apply what you are learning in your courses in a professional setting that also serves as a learning environment.
Internships may be paid or unpaid and completed for academic credit or non-credit bearing. While some employers may look for juniors or seniors for their internships, there are options available for students of all class years. These experiences typically span across a semester or summer and can be full-time or part-time.
