That’s why 100% of our traditional undergrads complete internships. This has proven
results: 61% of students with internships have a job offer in hand by the winter of
their senior year, compared with just 28% of students without an internship.

More Than an Internship

You’ll get the opportunity to experience a realistic interview scenario before heading
