INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Internship Opportunities
An internship is a field work experience which provides you with the opportunity to participate in pre-professional work related to your career interests. Interns work in corporations, government agencies, and non-profit organizations depending on your career interests. Internships are available during the Fall, Spring and Summer Semesters on a part-time (8-20 hours per week) or full-time (30-35 hours per week) basis. Matriculated undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply. Some projects may require related course work and a specific class standing (i.e. sophomore, junior or senior.)
Drop by the office in 805 East, or phone (212) 772-4850 to schedule an appointment for detailed information on projects and application procedures. We recommend that you apply as early as possible.

- Explore a career field of interest

- Demonstrate related experience on a résumé
- Discuss experience at a job interview
