ACADEMIC INTERNSHIPS

Students are encouraged to complete an internship in their field of study before graduation. An internship provides an opportunity to connect academic work with practical experience while being supervised and mentored by a professional. These experiences help bridge the transition from campus to career by building skills and networks while enhancing resumes and portfolios.
