Internships: Where Learning & Experience Meet!

Saint Anselm's extensive internship program helps students experience a practical work environment related to their academic career interests while developing highly marketable career skills. Internships are a valuable part of career exploration through which students can receive training, gain experience and a better understanding of what is needed to prepare for and succeed in a particular profession. An internship can be paid or unpaid, be for credit or not for credit and can vary in the hours or duration. If interested in an internship, please contact Tanya Robinson, the Director of Internships.
