Internships and Experiential Learning

According to the National Association of Colleges & Employers (NACE):

"An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent."

Here at Kean, we strongly encourage every student to gain career experience through a robust internship opportunity, as it will confirm your career path, enhance your resume and increase your employability after graduation. 

Internships may (or may not) be for academic credit and some internships are paid, while others are not. Have you heard about micro internships yet? They're a thing too.

When you're eady to learn more about your next internship, make an appointment to speak with a member of the Career Services team and we’ll provide you with all the further details on starting the internship process!
