GET REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE WITH INTERNSHIPS

Competition in today’s workforce is intense even for entry-level positions. That’s why we focus on helping you secure internships that will not only give you the chance to gain experience and contribute to companies and government agencies during your undergrad years, but also help you make the connections you’ll need to secure a job that matches your skills and interests.

Breaking Down Roadblocks

For many students, taking an unpaid internship means serious sacrifice, or even an obstacle to future success. That’s why UMBC created a special fund to provide stipends to students interested in otherwise unpaid internships and service opportunities.
