How can I get job experience before I graduate?

Do an internship!
The Experiential Education Program offers you an opportunity to gain valuable career experience while earning credit toward graduation. You are able to explore career interests in a variety of areas including marketing, journalism, television or radio, human resources, event planning, accounting, probation and general management to name just a few. The Program will help you to connect classroom learning with real life experience and give you a "leg up" on the competition when you graduate! 

How the Experiential Education Program Works
Would you like to work in the music industry but your major is English? The internship program allows you to find an internship that fits your interests. You can do an internship in your major, combine several of your interests or even try something completely new. You can use the Career Services staff, our resource files and reference library to find an internship or you can find your own opportunity through networking and the Internet. The only requirements are that you meet the following prerequisites and that you choose an opportunity that enhances your existing skills or teaches you new ones.
