You Are Why: Students in Action

When we ask our students what they need most, the answer is resoundingly clear. Students want to know that their Boston University education will set them on the path to a fulfilling life and a successful career. Career preparation isn’t just about taking the right courses and passing the right tests; it's about getting the neccesary hands-on experience prior to graduation.

We also know one of the best ways to acquire that kind of experiential learning: internships. Working as an intern helps students put what they’re learning in school to the test. Every day, they can see how theory plays out in fact. They can learn how to work within a team, how to respond effectively to managers’ direction, how to hear feedback and grow from it, and so much more.

That’s why we’re boosting our support for internships throughout the University, with opportunities in just about every discipline and partnerships with a growing network of companies and nonprofits. Join us in making internships available to every BU student!
