Don't take our word for it
"If there was anything I learned from my internship it was to go with the flow and be patient with myself and others in a new environment. I would absolutely recommend undergraduates to do an internship; it is an asset that can give you an edge when you face the job market and you get a chance to see if what you really are aiming for is what you really want. This internship has reinforced my desire to work in student affairs, and though I will pursue a graduate psychology degree, I can use every single thing I learned these past 4 years in almost any field I will end up in."

"The experience that I had during my internship was very inspiring and exciting. I had the opportunity to see firsthand what working in the counseling field would be like, as well as gain more knowledge and information on my particular career path. This experience allowed me to realize that Drug and Alcohol counseling was not quite the path I want to take in the future but it increased my passion for helping other individuals in need. I would recommend that everyone participate in the Undergraduate Internship Program because it allows you to gain more insight on the career path that you think you are interested, appreciate the work that goes forth within that career choice, and overall acquire the experience."

"Prior to completing my undergraduate internship, I knew that I was interested in the clinical side of psychology, but I was not certain what type of setting I wanted to work in. I was convinced that I was going to pursue my Ph.D. right after receiving my undergraduate degree. I experienced the mental health population for the first time through my internship and quickly discovered that was exactly what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. I changed my future goals to pursuing a Master’s degree in clinical psychology and working in a community mental health setting after completing my studies, as opposed to pursuing a Master’s degree and doing less hands-on work with my clients. Completing an internship is a way to gain experience in your field (which is a resume builder), establish connections for your career, and support your plans for the future!"
