Internship Program

For Graduate Students, the Internship Program provides an opportunity to gain professional work experience related to a particular field of study An internship is meant to be educational in nature.  Internships can be paid or unpaid, and in many cases can be completed for academic credit to be used toward a degree requirement. Completing an internship to add to a resume is a strong way to improve options for full-time employment after graduation.

The UT Dallas Career Center Internship Program provides students with the information and tools necessary to successfully navigate the internship process, from orientation to the program itself to evaluation at the end of the semester. Internship Coordinators provide information about eligibility, preparation, academic credit options, and assistance with the internship search. Students can also get information about the possibility of completing an internship at their current place of full-time employment.
