Internships, Externships & Co-op Opportunities
Internships not only make you more marketable as a job candidate, they also give you the opportunity to gain greater understanding and hands-on experience in a specific field. We offer opportunities for students of any major to put their classroom experiences to work – over the summer or during the school year.
Externships
Students have had the opportunity to explore their career interests in Boston, New York and Washington, D.C. while enhancing their networking skills and independently navigating their way around the city. These week-long intensive networking experience focuses on career exploration. Students will also learn about different careers and receive professional mentoring throughout the week.
Boston: The Boston Externship Program is a one-week career exploration and networking opportunity over the course of spring break in March and available to first-year students only.
New York: Each year, a small group of students (sophomores, juniors and seniors) are selected to travel to New York City and spend the week meeting with prestigious, successful alumni in a range of professional settings.
Washington, D.C.: Hill to Hill is a program for Stonehill students interested in a career in government, politics, non-profits and other organizations in Boston or Washington, D.C. Students conduct at least five informational interviews and/or job shadows in the Boston area then travel to Washington, D.C. for five additional informational interviews with Stonehill alumni living in the D.C. area.
Local Internships
Stonehill students can earn academic credit for completing internships. Most local internships are part time, but students also have the option to intern full time.
Intern Away
Stonehill students can intern full-time for a semester in New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston and the Greater Boston Area. Students will gain invaluable experience, amazing connections, and an educational experience like no other. Students earn a full semester of credit for this program. Students pay their regular tuition and fees, and any received financial aid is applied. All majors are welcome to apply.
Co-ops
Deeply immersive, our co-op programs put you in your field for two semesters and allow you to gain experience, earn credits and build professional networks. Stonehill's Co-op Program lasts over the course of two semesters, or six months. Co-ops are full-time and many are paid, particularly those in the fields of science, operations and technology.
Intern Abroad
The International Internship Program places students from any major in an internship where they gain first-hand knowledge of a specific field and apply their classroom learning to a working environment in a foreign setting.
