Boise State students in the community
Boise State students gain valuable experience and knowledge by working in the community in two capacities:
- Internships involve working for or with public agencies or local businesses. Some internships include wages.
- Service learning involves working for or with non-profit organizations.
Internships
Internship opportunities are a very important way for students to apply their knowledge in the world beyond the university. Both the sponsoring organization and the intern gain from the experience, with the intern accomplishing some valued work and learning from a mentor's guidance and the work experience. Sponsoring an intern from the College of Arts and Sciences is a great way to stay connected with the Boise State University community. By sponsoring an internship, you also help the College of Arts and Sciences improve its programs and maintain its excellent reputation. If you would like to learn more about sponsoring an intern, please contact the Career Center.
