ASU experiential learning internships

Experiences

Internships provide students with the opportunity to gain real-world experience in their chosen field while still in school. They typically involve working for a company or organization for a set period of time, usually a semester or a summer, and can be either paid or unpaid. Internships may be part-time or full-time and can be completed during the academic year or over the summer break. Access thousands of internship postings through Handshake(opens in a new tab).
