Internships
Internships provide an opportunity to explore career options, to make contacts, and to learn through the experience of participating in the field.
The below list contains contacts for agencies that have had our interns in the past, or that have expressed an interest in participating as sponsoring agencies. Most of the internships are not paid placements, so you will have to decide if you are able to commit the time to earn the credit (10 hours per week for 3 credit hours and 20 hours per week for 6 credit hours).
