Career Center Advising and Internships

Internships are work-and-learn experiences in which you can earn both money and academic credit. They are a robust part of any Stockbridge associate degree, allowing students to graduate with field experience on your resume, and a relationship with at least one employer central to their major. Many of our internships are hosted by Stockbridge alumni, and successful student interns may be offered a job at the same business or organization upon graduating. Additionally, all Stockbridge students have free access to the College of Natural Sciences Career Center, where they can get 1-on-1 help with their professional resume, and practice interview skills.
