Outstanding internship experiences are available throughout the Washington area with corporations, government agencies, schools, hospitals, and retail establishments. Marymount University is committed to helping students identify and secure appropriate internship opportunities, and supports this goal through its University Career and Internship Center.
Faculty and internship coordinators work directly with students and in collaboration with the University Career and Internship Center in helping them prepare for and successfully complete an internship. Firms and agencies sponsoring the intern are expected to provide a supervised, structured, and suitable experience consistent with the student's major field.
All undergraduate students who have advanced in their major are required to complete a minimum of 6 credits in an internship. Waiver of this requirement may be authorized by the dean of the School on the presentation of compelling evidence. If a waiver is obtained, coursework at the 300-400 level in courses within the major will be substituted for the internship.
