Internships & Experiential Learning

According to the National Association of Colleges & Employers:

"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 enhance your resume and increase your employability after graduation. 

Internships may or may not be for academic credit. In addition, some internships are paid while some are not.
