Internships can complement a student’s academic career and provide opportunities for career exploration, skill enhancement, and professional networking. Some academic programs require an internship; others do not. But all students are encouraged to explore internship opportunities and gain experience in their chosen field.

Field experience is a requirement for some academic programs. Students work with the internship supervisor to coordinate internships with Northeast Pennsylvania businesses and organizations.
