How to Find an Internship

Getting Started

Step 1 – Prepare

  • Plan in advance the semester you want to take your required or exploratory internship, we recommend at least one semester in advance or more.
  • Attend an Internship Planning Workshop offered at the beginning of each semester.
  • Meet with your faculty advisor to determine your eligibility to complete a required internship and review academic requirements.
  • Work with a career counselor to prepare and review your marketing materials – resume, cover letter and references.
  • Prepare for interviews by utilizing InterviewStream, participating in a mock interview with employers or alumni, or work with a counselor to prepare. 

Step 2 – Conduct an Internship Search

  • Utilize the tools, resources, and events listed on the 24/7 Career Tools page.
  • Meet with a career counselor to obtain a listing of established internship sites for your major. 

Step 3 – Secure and Register Your Internship for Credit

  • Accept an internship offer.
  • Email or meet with a career counselor to obtain a sample of internship acceptance letter to be completed by your internship supervisor.

Next Steps
