Internships We believe in real-world experience. That’s why over 65 percent of all seniors participate in a practicum, internship, field or clinical assignment. With downtown Jersey City only steps away and New York City in our backyard, opportunity is at our students’ fingertips.
Immerse Yourself Students have opportunities to participate in Industry TREKs at our partners’ corporate locations to provide students an immersive, insider experience to uncover career pathways and culture within the organization.
