What is an internship?
An internship (full-time/part-time) is a real-world experience related
to your career goals and interests.
It may, but does not have to be related/connected to your academic
major or minor. Internships can be done during the academic semester
and/or summer.
There are several varieties of internships: some are paid, some are
not and some offer credit toward graduation (from Stonybrook Univer-
sity’s Career Center).
Internships can be what helps you stand out in your job interviews
after college.
Most employers look for a combination of formal education and ex-
perience.
Not only are you gaining valuable hands-on experience, you are also
networking and making connections to professionals in your future
career fi eld. CTGR Higher Education encourages students to explore
internship opportunities to supplement their college education. n
