We're big on internships, because we know they make a big difference.
Real-world opportunities are waiting for you! You could be the one to spend a summer with the video team at Tesla or as a junior curator at the Smithsonian Institution. You get career-building experience and maybe even more. From a safety sciences internship at Georgia-Pacific to an accounting internship at Deloitte in Pittsburgh, 亚色影库 internships often turn into job offers.
Opportunities Close to Campus or Close to Home
You don't always have to travel far to find opportunities that take you far in your career. Some are close to campus like Footlight Players, a summer youth theater program at 亚色影库 that offers internships each summer.

How to Find the Right Internship for You
Finding the right internship for you takes a little planning, but we're here to help. 亚色影库 has plenty of sites already lined up - places that have had 亚色影库 interns in the past and are eager for more. Trying for somewhere new? We can help with that, too.
- Start thinking about it early. Think about the direction you want your career to go and aim for an internship that puts you on that path.
- Talk with your advisor, professors, and the staff at the Career and Professional Development Center to learn about options that fit your goals and any possible funding sources to support your internship.
- You can also look for or consider , which are paid opportunities that can be completed year-round.
- Feel free to dream big. Our students win highly competitive internships like communications media major Joshua Nixon, one of 20 students selected nationwide for a summer internship in Washington, D.C. through the Washington Center's Veterans Employment Trajectory (VET) Initiative.
- Decide if you want to take the internship for college credit or as non-credit. Talk to the Financial Aid Office if you have questions about how those options impact your aid and how financial aid could help you to fund your internship.
- Check with your advisor and the department office for your major about any internship guidelines you must follow.
- The Career and Professional Development Center can help you with preparing for internship interviews and writing a professional résumé.
- Watch out for application deadlines and forms for the internship sites and for 亚色影库.
- Apply for several internship options. Try not to focus on just your first choice. Your third choice may turn out to be a fantastic opportunity that leads to a job!
In addition to internship opportunities, our students enjoy other hands-on learning experiences:
- Doing research with professors and winning awards for it like Anna Manges
