Experiential Learning
Non-credit Internships are for gaining experience, building a professional network and documenting on the resume. Check out Business JobLink for internship postings.
Internships for academic credit: Each department in the College has an internship course with specific requirements. Contact your department internship faculty representative for more details.
Clemson's INT program documents the internship experience on the transcript but counts as zero credit hours. This is a cost-friendly option for students whose internship company requires that they receive credit. There are options for full-time and part-time internship courses. INT courses are offered through the Center for Career & Professional Development's INT program.
The University Professional Internship and Co-Op Program (UPIC) provides opportunities for students to intern on campus. UPIC opportunities are posted in Clemson JobLink for each upcoming semester. Applications are competitive.
Study Abroad opportunities prepare students to succeed in the global economy.
Clemson's International Internship Program offers internships in a variety of global locations. Internships take place during the Summer, and students enroll in a special INT 3010 course, which yields three credits of elective credit.
Parker-Dewey Micro-Internships: Micro-internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments like those given to new hires or interns.
Creative Inquiry projects offer students the opportunity to engage in long-term, team-based projects, which can lead to citable accomplishments.
