Step 1

Online Orientation

CLICK HERE to complete the Online Orientation.

At the end of the presentation, you will print out the orientation agreement and the Request for Academic Internship form. Complete the quiz while you’re still at the computer—you may need to refer back to the orientation.

Step 2

Sign the Agreement

Fill out the top part of the Request for Academic Internship form, sign it, and take it to your academic department. The Request for Academic Internship must be signed by your department’s faculty Internship Coordinator. Print out your DARS to show that you have the required G.P.A..

Step 3

Return the Forms

Return the Agreement and Request forms to the Internship Office. You will receive a folder containing more information, including how to begin using our Web-based internship search program, CareerConnection.

Step 4

Create a Résumé

Create an internship résumé in Microsoft Word. The suggested format for your résumé is also provided in the folder you receive when you turn in your Request for Academic Internship form.

Step 5

Search For Jobs

Using targeted search tools, you'll select about 10 possible jobs from our database, and make an appointment with our office to review the positions. Then we'll send your résumé to the employers. Our employers rate very highly with our students: 93% of our student interns from this past semester would recommend their employer to other students.

Step 6

Follow-Up with Employers

Employers contact you directly. You are strongly encouraged to follow up with employers to inquire about the status of your résumé.

Step 7

Accept the Position

Once you have accepted the position, contact our office immediately to sign up for a registration session. This is an important step, as this is how you register for credits.
