Internships

The Computer Science department would like to encourage all students to participate in at least one internship experience during their academic career. Internships are a great way to prepare for the job market by gaining real world experience. Learning to communicate well with others, to take as well as give direction, and to integrate oneself into a business culture are some of the valuable experiences that will give you an edge in today’s competitive job market. The following is a guide to the Department Policy on student internships.
