Semester-Long INTERNSHIPS
Many of the off-campus study programs approved for DePauw credit integrate internship participation into their missions or offer internship components. Another resource, Handshake, has searchable internships across the country, as well as internationally. Visit Handshake to submit a secured internship.
If these programs are not an appropriate fit for you, you may also consider applying for independently-designed off-campus internships. These internships consist of academic credit for full-time, semester-long internships in conjunction with academic work. Planning for a semester off-campus involves collaboration with faculty and staff far in advance. You should seek advising as early as possible. Many students enrolled in classes on campus also participate in part-time, on-campus semester internships through specific departments at DePauw, or volunteer at a professional organization.
