Internships
An internship is a wonderful opportunity for sophomores to obtain practical, hands-on experience, while applying liberal arts skills of research, writing and analysis in real life situations. Exploring an internship leads to great future connections, a possible independent study, clarity on post-graduation plans, and most importantly will help you to build a competitive resume.
Brandeis University is committed to providing students with experiential learning opportunities and encourages credit and non-credit internship experiences that allow students to critically analyze and reflect on connections between theory and practice. Interested students should research potential organizations and visit Hiatt Career Center's library for helpful databases, information, and tips.
