Student Interns integrate classroom studies with learning through productive work experiences in a field related to a student’s academic or career goals. Internships are generally one term experiences, generally in the summer, though some can translate into part time work or follow on terms. Student interns may or may not receive college credit or a grade for their internship experience.
