Internships

Students in many of our academic programs must complete some form of work-based learning, such as clinicals, practicums and internships. These work-based learning opportunities are integrated into the curriculum to incorporate classroom knowledge with real-world work.

Career Services oversees internships in the Business, Information Technology, Engineering, Criminal Justice, and Behavioral Health degree programs. These experiential learning opportunities take place during the fall, spring, or summer semesters and start with a minimum of 150 hours.

If you are interested in having an intern at your company, contact us at careers@mtc.edu.
