Search for an Internship

Empire State University students can incorporate internships into their university degree program plan. An internship is a way to connect professional experience with personal learning goals.

Students may apply for formal internship programs established by the local, state and national governments, as well as by corporations, nonprofit organizations and universities.

Internships should be substantive learning experiences that help students develop their skills as they relate to their degree plan and career goals.
