Our Students Learn Everywhere
What students do beyond campus is as important as what they do in the classroom. Honors College students have the maturity and drive to start applying their knowledge in the workplace before graduation. Internships help build foundational skills important for career endeavors. An internship can open doors, help develop career plans and help students make great contacts for the future. Some internships may also evolve into full-time employment opportunities.
This internship gave me a new perspective because it helped me understand how an exercise science-related business operates successfully. I believe it is important to not only be an effective healthcare professional but also to have an understanding of the way a business in this field should operate.
