Internships at NAU

There are numerous opportunities at Northern Arizona University for students to participate in internships.

Internships are usually sponsored through the college or school of a student’s major and take place locally, regionally, nationally or internationally.  Some majors require internships, or have a practicum component built into the curriculum, while other areas of study encourage internships for career exploration and practical experience, but they are not required. For more internship opportunities associated with a given major, contact the department internship representative listed for more information.

Internship and job opportunities
