Internships 101 Info Session

In this Info Session you will learn about strategies for finding internship opportunities, plus how you can earn academic credit towards your degree for your internship experience through the university’s Academic Internship Program. We will also discuss the Funded Internship Program, which allows students to apply for supplemental funding during the summer semester for unpaid and low-paying internships.

Can’t make this session? No problem. The Internships 101 Info Session is offered the first Wednesday of every month from 4:00 - 5:00 pm during the fall and spring semesters.
