Internships

Internships provide the opportunity for a transformational experiential learning experience that allows students to apply classroom learning to real-world settings. During an internship experience, many students make meaningful professional connections and often solidify their post-graduation plans.

A meaningful academic internship experience is a collaborative effort between the student, the faculty internship course instructor, and the internship site supervisor.

Students should utilize all resources available to them, such as their faculty, professional network, internet online resources including HatterJobs and LinkedIn, Stetson alumni, and the Career Success staff, to maximize their opportunities.

Internship Orientation

Before embarking on your academic internship journey, completion of the Internship Orientation is a crucial step. This online, self-paced course may be required by your internship course instructor. The orientation provides essential insights into professional conduct, legal considerations, and effective strategies for maximizing your internship experience. Ensure you're well-prepared by taking this informative session, setting the foundation for a successful and rewarding internship.
