An internship is an excellent opportunity to work with an organization or industry partner to learn valuable and practical work skills. Sometimes they are for-pay and sometimes they are unpaid. Typically, you work with an employer in an area of your career interest. It is very helpful to already have some research experience (often through a research assistant position) to become an intern. To learn about these internship opportunities, check out your departmental webpages for specific internships related to your major.To find student employment, please check out the link below titled "Student Employment-UCCS SEAN".

A research assistant position is an excellent opportunity to work with a faculty member or other research investigator to answer a specific research question. Sometimes these positions are in a laboratory or field setting and sometimes they take place in libraries or archives. Typically these positions are voluntary or for academic credit, but can occasionally be a paid position if the primary investigator has research funding.
