Experience Necessary: Online Degree Program Internships

Posted: May 18, 2009 | Comments: 0 | Views: 6 | Bookmark and Share

You are or want to be an online student working towards your degree and want to know type of internships online universities have to offer. There are some options, but they are a little different than traditional degree program internships.

Let’s use Western International University (WIU) as an example. According to one of WIU’s campus advisors; WIU no longer offers internships directly through the college directly. Since students are not located in one general area, it is difficult to setup an internship program where students work for specific companies. With online universities, students can be spread out across the globe making it hard to pinpoint certain companies that would be accessible to their many students. WIU has stopped offering internships just recently; In the past, however, internships were mostly done by international students.

This isn’t the end of the road for online degree students seeking internships however, universities, including WIU, will still help students find an internship. While, most accredited online programs have advisors that aid students in finding an internship, online students generally need to go directly through the company in which they wish to intern. Many traditional college students use this method as well. This isn’t hard to do, simply find a desirable company, in the field of your study, and ask them if they offer any internships.

When it comes to internship programs, every university is different. Once you know what degree you are working towards, simply find a company in that field that offers internships and send in an application. Also contact your online university advisor and talk about your options. Remember, an internship is the best way to get noticed before you graduate!
