Internship FAQ's for Employers

  Should internships be paid or unpaid?

Internships can be paid or unpaid, but many students pursuing unpaid internships seek academic credit. Compensation is often a legal obligation if a student does not receive academic credit. Paid internships receive more attention from students and usually more applicants.

How does a student receive credit for an internship?

Credit is arranged through a student's academic department. If you are posting an internship that requires a student to obtain academic credit, you can contact the internship coordinator for a specific academic department.

How do I list an internship position?

Career Services' allows employers to post positions free of charge in our job and internship database, PatriotJobWeb.
