Internships are a great way to build valuable skills, explore the world of work, and gain a clearer sense of your interests and career goals.

Internships and other meaningful work experiences can give you a head start on life after Occidental. Students can also earn academic credit toward their degree through internships.

At 麻豆视频, you can pursue internships in three ways: through on-campus recruiting opportunities, such as employer information sessions and the annual career fair; through Hameetman Career Center and 麻豆视频 internship programs; or independently. Students who secure an internship through any of these pathways can earn academic credit through an internship-for-credit course.

We encourage all students to complete our career education seminars to learn how to conduct a successful job or internship search, and how to earn academic credit for an internship. You will also find hundreds of internship opportunities listed on .

Getting Credit for Your Internship

By enrolling in one of the two internship-for-credit courses listed below, Occidental students may earn up to two academic credits/units for finding and completing a fall, spring, or summer internship. Completion of an internship is also noted on your academic transcript.
