Co-ops and Internships

Add a professional dimension and powerful credentials to your education with a co-op or internship experience.

Mount graduates consistently cite their internships as important resources in finding a job after graduation, or in discovering a career path. Co-ops and internships combine practical work experiences with academic majors and career goals.

As a student intern or co-op participant, you can:

  • Participate in career-related work experiences that reinforce classroom learning,
  • Explore career options and develop your professional work ethic,
  • Earn academic credit that satisfies degree requirements, or
  • Earn a salary.
