Virtually every survey of employers demonstrates one truth:
Students with internship experience as part of their undergraduate experience are more likely to receive job offers, and at a higher salary rate than those students who do not have any experiential education.
Internships help you gain real world experience in a field related to your academic major, and they also give you contacts for your professional goals.
Internships may be for college credit or not, they may also be paid or not. Some internships are part-time; others are full-time (these are usually called cooperative experiences).
At Mansfield University, if you are enrolled in an academic program that requires you to complete an internship, you must work with your academic advisor to arrange for your internship.
If you are enrolled in a major that does not require an internship, but you’d like to serve one to build your experience, the Career Center can help you locate potential internship opportunities.
