Internships & Your Journey

UMF students can choose to do internships with or without earning academic credit. If you’d like to receive credit, it’s important to plan ahead, work with your academic advisor, and get faculty approval before the internship begins.

Through internships and career readiness services, UMF ensures that students are not only academically prepared but also equipped with the confidence and skills needed to succeed in the workplace.
