In today's competitive job market, employers recruit graduates who have complemented their academic pursuits with authentic opportunities for applying classroom learning with “real-world” internship experiences. Internship opportunities not only increase a student’s motivation to learn, they also provide personal and professional career development and marketable skills that better prepare students to compete and succeed in the workplace. At St. John’s University, our students have access to world-class research, scholarly activities, and career-developing internship opportunities that engage students in real learning for real life.
