Internship Program

The purpose of the IU Southeast Internship Program is to provide students with experiential work opportunities applying classroom knowledge to real-world work environments which promote student learning. Internships are designed for junior and senior students enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs. Typically, these work assignments are for a minimum of 14 weeks and can be full- or part-time positions. Internships vary greatly; some are paid, while others are unpaid. The student also has the option of taking the internship for academic credit or for zero credit. Benefits from internship participation include an opportunity to test a career choice, gain confidence in one’s abilities, develop professional skills, and develop networking contacts for future employment opportunities. It also prepares students for employment because more employers are expecting candidates to have work-related experience before being considered for full-time, professional employment upon graduation. All internship assignments must be coordinated through the Career Development Center.
