- You may also elect to receive academic credit for your internship or do it for the experience alone.
- 实习 are a great way to find out if a particular career or work environment is a good fit for you. And don’t forget…it’s not all about what you know, but who you know (and who knows you!). An internship will open the door to your professional network and hopefully lead to a permanent position upon graduation!
如何获得学分
The process for receiving academic credit varies widely by major. To receive academic credit for an internship, begin by checking with the designated contact in your major's corresponding academic department for information on requirements and specific processes.
If your academic department does not require that an internship be completed for credit, you can always complete a not-for-credit internship on your own.

如何在实习中取得成功
- 参加所有迎新活动 offered and read all available onboarding handbooks
- 观察一切…what people wear, how they interact with each other, where they eat, etc.
- 问问题 如果你对任何事情都不确定
- 了解每个人——即使是你部门以外的人. This is a great way to learn more about the organization and possibly develop a mentor.
- 为你想要的工作而着装. Just because your boss might wear shorts and t-shirts, doesn’t necessarily mean you should. Be observant of what others wear, especially those in positions of leadership.
- 学习一项新技能. Even if your internship isn’t exactly what you thought it might be, it’s important to know that you walked away learning something new.
- 要求新项目. Supervisors may underestimate the amount of time it takes an intern to complete a project.
- 〇积极主动 It’s always good to look for things that need to be done.
- 寻求反馈. 希望你的, supervisor will conduct an evaluation at the end of your internship, 但不要害怕寻求持续的反馈. This keeps the lines of communication open and ensures you’re meeting expectations.
- 保持联系 实习结束后. It’s great if an internship can turn into a permanent position, 但这并不总是马上发生. Maintain relationships with those you worked with as they will likely keep you posted on upcoming openings, 也可以作为你的参考.
Unfortunately, not all internships may go as planned, and that’s okay. Finding out something you don’t like can be just as helpful as identifying what you do like. Reach out to the Career Center if you have any questions or concerns regarding your internship experience.
