Internships

Internship Opportunities

All undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in the Internship Program prior to graduating. An internship helps the student enhance the student’s professional skills with actual “hands-on” experience in the student’s field of study. An internship is an excellent résumé builder, since most employers make hiring decisions based upon prior work-related experience. It allows the student to stand out from the rest of the competition when searching for part-time or full-time opportunities.

Students are required to hold a GPA of 2.75 and to have completed at least half of their degree requirements at the time of application. The application process and required documents are accessed through Campus Web.
