Our goal at EMU is to place students in internships that matter. Whether your goal is to further explore your potential career field, have a unique summer experience, or find a job post-graduation, our faculty will work with you to find the right internship fit.
EMU provides a wide variety of internship opportunities in every program. Some majors have internships built into their curriculum. 83% of EMU’s business and leadership internships in 2019 resulted in full-time job offers upon graduation.
At EMU, you learn by doing. In-the-field learning is required in most programs of study
Internship: CASA
Quote: I think my most significant learning experience will be getting to have discussions
with people that are directly affected by the policies of different states and the
federal government.
Internship: Washington Digital Media
Quote: Getting more hands-on experience with camera work and working in a professional environment
will be a great learning experience.
Internship: Smithsonian Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO)
Quote: Jones received job coaching through his internship and OCIO colleagues, which helped
him both gain confidence in his skills and interactions in the workplace but also
“an understanding of what it takes to get the job you’re searching for.”
Internship: Congregation Action Network (CAN)
Quote: Engaging in work that I am passionate about, feeling more connected to my culture,
and supporting immigrant communities are some of my greatest takeaways thus far.
Internship : Peru
Quote: This experience has instilled in me a passion for inquiry that will become a driving
force in my future work. Knowing I was under qualified and was strictly just shadowing,
has increased my willingness to want hone my craft!
