Internships
Internships
While U of M students learn a lot in the classroom, many also look for hands-on experiences outside the classroom to build skills and prepare for a career. An internship is a job that focuses on education and experience in your field of interest. Internships offer benefits like mentorships, paid work experience, and networking opportunities.
The University of Minnesota's great location makes it easy for U of M students to find valuable internships. Our campus career centers have connections with the surrounding community, and advisors who will help you through the application and interview process.
