Internships are a great way to gain real world experience and connections while also continuing your degree! We have partnerships with a variety of corporations and government agencies, nationally and internationally. If you are interested in participating in an internship, please contact the internship coordinator for your major. Students interested in interning must have an overall GPA of 2.5 and have completed at least 50 hours of credit, of which at least 12 should be from ASU.
