Internships

What is an internship?
An internship provides you with practical work experience in your chosen field. Its duration may be one semester, a summer, or an agreed-upon length of time between the student, employer, and school. Internships are primarily single, planned educational experiences for students. You may receive academic credit or a grade for your internship work and internships may be paid or unpaid.
