Finding an Internship
The process of finding an internship is great practice for your eventual career search. Internships are required of all students in their final quarter of study.
When should I start looking for an internship?
Since you are expected to begin your internship at the beginning of your final quarter, you should begin your search the previous quarter when you register. Students are responsible for taking the lead in exploring different locations for their internship, based on their career aspirations. You want to make sure you have an internship secured before the final quarter begins.
