实习

实习 provide an excellent opportunity for students to apply their school learning to real-world experiences. They allow students to explore different areas of interest, and post-graduation, they are the best way to find a quality job. 我们鼓励 students to have at least one internship during their Skidmore career, and the more internships, the better. Students can earn credit for internships, as described below.  For unpaid summer internships, Skidmore provides several competitive funding opportunities.

实习 for credit

Students who wish to earn credit for their internships can do so through the Office of Academic Advising. Credit-bearing internships require both an on-site supervisor, who monitors the practice of the internship, and a 教师 sponsor, who adds an academic component 到实习. 实习 taken for academic credit require a strong academic center. The amount of academic work assigned by the 教师 sponsor should be commensurate with the number of credit hours earned during their internship and the level of the internship (ES 299 versus ES 399).

Funding opportunities for summer internships

Several Skidmore offices, groups, departments, and programs provide competitive summer funding, including the ESS Program. A wide variety of experiences qualify for these funds, including internships, volunteer opportunities, research, community service projects, apprenticeships, and more.
