They also <strong>develop essential contacts in the field<\/strong> and increase their understanding of the area in which they are studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the internship, students complete a <strong>professional development course<\/strong> focused on resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, networking with professionals, and utilizing social media. Our students can then complete their internship requirement during the fall, spring or summer, depending on their curriculum.
