Internships are single-semester, paid or unpaid major-related work experiences designed to help students understand the "real world" applications of their academic studies. Involvement may be part-time, as little as 10-15 hours a week, or full-time. Opportunities are available during summer, fall, or spring semesters. Academic credit may be awarded at the discretion of students’ academic departments.
