To augment these programs, the Division of Computer Science,
Mathematics and Science offers internships with a number of
local companies. These internships are non-paid work experience in
an area allied to the student’s major, for which academic credit is
granted.
Internships provide an excellent introduction to the
professional experience in the Information Technology field.
Internships are supervised work experiences in various companies
for qualified students in their junior or senior year. Students may
earn three to six credits by interning.
