Advising

An internship is a great learning opportunity which can provide valuable career preparation.  The hands-on experience gained through an internship supplements any liberal arts concentration.  You will acquire important skills and experience that can help you think about your professional goals and interests, enhance future employment opportunities and augment further training in graduate and professional schools. 

An internship is:

  • A short-term work experience which varies in length and can be paid or unpaid.
  • An opportunity to gain valuable insights and “hands on” training in a professional setting.
  • A chance to explore career paths in a variety of fields.
  • A temporary position giving students the opportunity to translate coursework into applied knowledge in the workplace.
  • Potentially an intrinsic part of a student’s academic and professional training.
  • An opportunity to develop a network and seek a mentor.


An internship is not:

  • A position of menial tasks such as copying, filing, and running errands.
  • A summer job unrelated to any career plan.
