Overview

The Internship Program, first established in the Spring of 1974, provides upperclass students in all academic disciplines with the opportunity to be involved in independent research experiences at universities, government laboratories, businesses and studios within the United States and abroad. An internship is viewed as a culminating experience enabling the academically successful undergraduate to obtain full-time academic status, thereby directly applying knowledge and training learned in the classroom, and, in some cases, previous Co-op experience to the specific Internship position.
