Finding an Internship
Career & Employment Services can help you through the internship search and registration process. Students are not automatically placed in an internship, so you鈥檒l need to apply and interview for internships, just like applying for a job. The application process can be competitive, so start your search early and have Career & Employment Services review your resume and cover letter to give you the best chance of landing your perfect spot.
Begin by looking on , which will show you internships available to students in your major. If you don鈥檛 find what you鈥檙e looking for there, then identify companies you鈥檙e interested in working for after graduation. Make an appointment with Career & Employment Services to contact those potential employers.
Students may also consider utilizing their current employer for internships. In that case, at least 75% of the internship duties must be new and different from the student鈥檚 day-to-day duties in their current position.

Earning Credit for Your Internship
Students must work 45 hours per credit earned. Internships are restricted-entry courses. Career & Employment Services will register you for the internship credit(s) after you complete the CareerLink information and the internship is approved. The last day to register for your internship is the 鈥淟ast Day for Registering/Adding Classes鈥� as determined by the university calendar. Students must complete an online evaluation at the end of the semester.
Internships must contain an educational component to be considered for credit. For all internships, at least 80% of the job duties must be degree-related in nature.
