Student Resources
Internships
As a Health Studies major you are encouraged to complete internships for the opportunity to apply theory to practice in the field. Internships provide you with the opportunity to develop skills, gain experience, and further define career goals.
To find an internship, you’ll work with the Center for Career and Experiential Education to identify placements. You should meet with your academic advisor before registering for internship credits.
