Internship Listings

The following agencies regularly recruit students to work with them.  Internship placements are for one semester, unless stated otherwise.  Students are not limited to the agencies listed here; feel free to explore other options. The websites given below under Other Resources might give you a good start.

The internship coordinator can assist you in identifying appropriate agencies that might meet your particular academic and career interests.  However, you, the student, are ultimately responsible for securing an internship placement.  Note:  Internship placements must be approved before the student can receive academic credit.  Please call 827-1111 to make an appointment with the Internship Coordinator.
