VSB Academic Internships for Credit
VSB students are encouraged to participate in at least one internship during their college career, regardless of whether or not they receive academic credit. Internships are offered during the fall and spring semesters, as well as over the summer.
Internships offer students the following benefits:
- Build networking relationships and develop professional contacts
- Experience the organizational culture and how it fits with one’s career goals
- Create potential full-time job opportunities
- Gain an understanding of the industry, which enhances marketability on a job search
- Develop professional skills (technical skills and soft skills)
VSB students may choose to earn (free elective) academic credit for an internship or they may be required by an employer to receive credit. To begin the process of securing academic credit for an internship, submit your application to the Experiences section of Handshake. Be sure to include a position description and fill in all the fields. Students are required to attend an Internship Launch Session.
Application Deadlines:
- Fall & Spring semesters – last day of the add/drop period of the respective semester
- Summer: June 15th or before the start of your internship, whichever comes first
