Internships

For North Park University interns, Chicago is an occupational laboratory. The city's lively business community and great cultural resources offer opportunities for students in all areas of study to work in jobs appropriate to that discipline and their career interests. Internships may also be arranged throughout the United States and overseas.

Internships Allow You To:

• Recognize and appreciate the relevance and value of a liberal arts education for career preparation
• Combine classroom studies with direct involvement in a potentially life-long occupation
• Have a better idea of your strengths, weaknesses and future needs in terms of knowledge and skills
• Clarify vocational goals
• Make potential contacts for future employment
