Internship Opportunities
Students have the ability to engage in several types of internship opportunities. We realize that each student has very different needs gaining experience in their chosen field of study. Thus we offer many different credit bearing opportunities as well as non-credit opportunities. You will work with your advisor to find out which track fits your educational and financial need.
