Internships

Westminster College strongly encourages all students to serve an internship as a complement to their classroom studies. Serving an internship is an invaluable way to gain the career experience needed to make employers seriously consider your application for professional employment. Most Westminster students serve at least one internship by the time they graduate. Internships may be served during any term, as well as summer and breaks. Academic credit is awarded for faculty-approved, registered internships. Some internships are paid, but most are not.

HELP IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
