Types of Available Internships

Think an internship is going to glue you to a desk, where your main tasks will be answering the phone, taking messages, and maybe making the occasional Xerox? Think again.

We offer a wide selection of internships. Pre-Ed majors might be interested in our new internships with Montgomery County Schools, while those of you who seek to write or edit for a living might find yourselves working on campus at the Center for Wireless Telecommunications, Virginia Tech Magazine, Virginia Water Resources Research Center, or University Relations, among others. If you would prefer an off-campus placement, you might work at Pocahontas Press (a local publisher), The Southwest Times (newspaper), or the Montgomery County Commonwealth Attorney's Office (Pre-Law students only).

Here is a list of internships. Availability changes from semester to semester.

For more information about any internship on this list, contact the Internship Coordinator.
