Office of Career Services

The Internship Program at Roosevelt University is an employment initiative designed to provide career related work experiences concurrent or alternating with academic coursework. What this means, is that you'll be working in a field related to your major while going to school. The purpose of this experience is to provide direction and enrichment to your education, and to enhance your value as an employee upon graduation.
Advantages include:

• Better clarification of career goals
• Ability to apply classroom knowledge to “real work” situations
• Increased job search skills
• Enhanced resume
• Professional experience
• Increased networking opportunities

Internships can be paid or unpaid and can be for credit or not-for-credit (students looking to obtain credit for their experience will need to seek approval from their academic department prior to beginning an internship). Internships can occur in a variety of environments including corporate, government and non-profit sectors and can provide you with the competitive edge that’s needed to be successful in today’s job market.

For more information on how to participate in this program, contact the Office of Career Services to schedule an appointment with a career counselor.

Grant Funding
In addition, our Co-op grant may be of interest to you. Roosevelt University is the recipient of the Illinois Cooperative Work Study Program which places our undergraduate students with Illinois employers to obtain work-related training in the student's field of study. Our grant will reimburse the employers half of the wages that are spent while giving our students valuable experience. If your internship is a paid position, there is a possibility that we may work together in this capacity.

If you have an internship that might fit with this grant, feel free to contact us with any questions and we look forward to working with you!
