Career observations, employment experience and internships

There are several opportunities to investigate career directions while earning college credit and possibly getting a paycheck.  The courses Coop 119, 219 and 319 are offered during May Term and they allow you to learn the day-to-day activities required for jobs in your field.  You may also apply for an internship during the fall and spring semesters.

Many of our students have had internship experiences related to the banking and insurance industries and through government agencies.  Our close proximity with Des Moines makes it possible for students to have internships year round.  In addition, May Term is an excellent time for students to work 40 hours a week for three weeks as part of an internship while earning college credit.
