What kinds of internships are available through Career Services?
The Bassett Internship Program, housed in the Birdsong Peaks of Excellence Center, Thomas Branch Hall, offers a universe of internship opportunities. Since the inception of the program in 1982 the program has placed over 2800 interns in more than 1100 locations in more than 25 states, Washington, DC and 18 foreign countries. Four types of internships are available through the Bassett Internship Program. Academic Internships permit students the opportunity to learn about the world of work while earning academic credit and a grade. The Center assists in recruitment and placement in summer internships with public service and non-profit organizations. Pre-Professional Internships offer summer, paid positions which are career-directed in nature. These internships allow the student and employers the opportunity for realistic job previews with an eye to employment. Finally, R-MC is an educational partner with the Disney College Program.
