Internships
Internships are a great way for students to gain hands-on experience in a specific field—offering learning opportunities that go beyond the traditional classroom setting.
In the College of Arts and Sciences, students can earn up to six credit hours through internships. To be eligible, students need to have completed at least 60 credit hours and hold a minimum GPA of 2.5 both overall and in their major. (If the internship is required for your major or you have special approval from your Dean, exceptions may apply.) Students can also choose to do a nonacademic internship to deepen their knowledge and experience in a particular area, even if they’re not seeking credit.
If you’d like to earn academic credit for your internship, you’ll need to coordinate with the Kevin S. and Sandra E. Delbridge Career Center before you register. Be sure to complete the internship application and get signatures from your academic advisor, department chair, and the internship coordinator.
Recent Mathematics Department students have obtained internships at MassMutual, GE Financial, Towers Watson, and various other banks and insurance companies. An internship is often paid, and many of them take place over the summer. Some internships can be done for credit during the year through the MATH 480-481 Internship in Mathematics courses.
