Types of Internships

The non-credit internships available may either be paid or non-paid. The employer determines if compensation will be offered.

Internships are available during each semester where students are required to work 15-20 hours per week along with classes, and also during summer which often means working full-time.

There will be some international opportunities for summer internships but the student will responsible for his/her air ticket and accommodation. The Career Development Center offers no financial assistance for internships. However, some international employers might offer one or the other to encourage students to do their internship with them. That will be stated on the summer internship posting.
