Experiential Learning
The [College of Arts and Sciences] Internship Office provided me with the best possible tools and advice in order to reach out and effectively communicate with many different businesses, they already had many contacts to reach out to.
The benefits of a credit-bearing internship are endless. It gives you real-world experience while simultaneously completing credits for school in order to graduate on time. There is only so much you can learn sitting down in a classroom before taking the knowledge you’ve learned and applying it towards an internship. Yes, you are working for a real business, but you are also learning new skills as you do it and they will understand that and help you succeed.
My internship has helped me tremendously already. Not only did I meet great people that I plan on keeping in contact with, it gave me incredible hands-on experience that I can use on my resumé for future job applications.
