CBE Opportunities
There are many different ways internships and jobs enhance your student experience. From gaining critical experience of what an industry is actually like to building a portfolio of marketable experience these opportunities may be the difference in a highly competitive job market.
Internships that may offer academic credit are available in, and in some cases are required in, most CBE degree programs. For more information about how to connect internships or jobs to your education, contact the department office.
