About Internships

An academic internship is a supervised, planned, learning experience in a work environment, taken for academic credit. 

Internships may vary in both duration and compensation.  While paid internships attract more applicants, other forms of compensation such stipends packaged with a quality work experience is another way to attract students for unpaid internships. 

Some organizations can’t afford pay or stipends but the type of project and high-level of responsibility associated with the internship makes the internship attractive to students.
