Internships
If you're studying in Northern's College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), you'll be encouraged to augment your studies with an internship - a great experience that will help you determine exactly what you'd like to do after graduation. Your junior year is a good time to plan for after-graduation options.
Internship for Credit
You may be able to earn between 1 and 12 internship credits per academic term. Please contact advisors Jessica Ness or Rhonda Carda for important details and deadlines.
Annual Fall Internship Reception
In the fall, the CAS hosts an informative internship reception to help you prepare for an internship the following spring or summer, and celebrate the experience of current interns. Representatives from several employers may be available to talk with you, their potential intern! For details, please contact CAS secretaries Julie Backous or Jessica Furney.
