Major-specific Opportunities
Each department advertises additional opportunities through departmental websites, emails, newsletters and faculty advisors. These opportunities can range from research opportunities with faculty, to paid off-campus jobs and internships. Programs can vary quite a bit in whether some experiential learning is required by the program or if it’s offered as an additional opportunity. Each department has its own culture around advertising opportunities.
Please talk to your advisor and the departmental staff to find out more.
