Internship Resources for Students
The University’s commitment to
internships as an integral part of the educational process is strong.
Internships gives students opportunity to reflect upon, analyze and critique
their experiences in ways that demonstrate their ability to integrate what they
have learned in the classroom with what they are learning in the field.
Credit-bearing internships are
available to students in many majors. For specific information on such
internships, students should contact their academic advisors. These internships
require students to be supervised by a faculty member and an on-site supervisor
and that they develop a set of clearly defined objectives, internship
responsibilities and an assessment plan.
Non–credit-bearing
internships are also available. They are less structured
and do not necessarily relate to specific course work.
In either case, students seeking assistance in the
search and application process should contact Career Services at (570) 941-7640
to schedule an appointment with a counselor to secure the services they need to
succeed.

We
encourage all students to complete at least one internship before
graduating from
The University of Scranton. Research has shown that internships significantly increase student
success in the job search and graduate school admission process.
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, over 30%
of interns were hired as full-time employees after graduation. |
