When you add internship work experience to your resume, you make yourself more valuable to prospective employers. You also get an up-close look at what it's actually like to work in a field, so you can know for sure before you graduate that you are pleased with your planned career path. For these reasons, internships are highly encouraged by our professors. The College of Science and Engineering and the Career Center work with you to find the right internship for your career goals and God's calling on your life. Many times internships evolve into full-time post-graduation employment.
