Internships allow students to apply classroom learning in professional environments while building connections that support their future careers. CLASE students gain experience with businesses, nonprofit organizations, research institutions and government agencies across the region and beyond.
Many CLASE students participate in undergraduate research, working alongside faculty mentors to explore questions, test ideas and contribute to new knowledge. Whether conducting scientific experiments, analyzing social trends or designing new technologies, students gain valuable experience in discovery, problem-solving and communication.
For many programs, learning extends beyond the classroom. Students conduct environmental research, participate in archaeological digs, work in community organizations and study real-world systems in action. These immersive experiences help students understand how their fields impact people and communities.
Students also apply their learning through collaborative projects and community partnerships. From creative writing and media production to engineering design and data analysis, these opportunities allow students to turn ideas into meaningful work while still enrolled.
Get involved, build your skills and find your community through CLASE’s wide range of clubs and organizations. From academic and professional groups to creative, cultural and service-based clubs, there are countless ways to explore your interests, gain hands-on experience and connect with others who share your passions.
