Centralized Office
The Internship Center at Messiah College is a centralized center offering a variety of services and programs. We provide the convenience of a "one-stop shop" for students, faculty, academic advisors, and employers. Credit and non-credit learning experiences can be accomplished in the Fall, Spring, or Summer. These include information interviews, job shadowing, externships, practica, and internships (local, national, and international).
Staff Assigned to Particular Schools
Messiah employs three professional staff to administrate the Internship Center and to teach the interns in the required seminar component. Though the Director oversees all interactions with schools and departments, the professional staff are assigned specific school coordination responsibilities.
