Internship, Clinicals and On-Site Experience
About Laurel Internships
Career Services coordinates and implements internships and clinicals, an integral part of each program that provides students with invaluable work experience in their chosen fields. During these internships and clinicals, students apply skills learned in school to real-world employment settings, and most importantly, they begin to cultivate professional networks and acquire references as they start their careers.
It is possible for students to complete all 300 required hours at one site. Depending on your program of study*, you are required to successfully complete your internships BEFORE you graduate!
