Internships are a practical, "hands on" experience in the field of your choice. This career preparation and experiential learning will allow you to:
- Use your knowledge of the discipline, analytical skills, and technological competencies in a business environment.
- Assess and clarify your career goals.
- Begin to develop a network of contacts in the field.
- Develop time management and organizational skills.
- Build your resume and make yourself more marketable in your job search or application to graduate school after graduation. Employers rate internships as one of the top considerations when deciding on full-time hires.
- Develop skills and enhance your knowledge.
- Learn about the expectations and realities of the working world.
- The internship may, in some cases, lead to an offer of full-time employment after graduation.
Some majors require an internship, while in others the internship could be an elective. Some internships are paying, while others are non-paying. A typical internship requires between 10 and 20 hours of work experience per week over a semester.
