Internships for Every Niner

At UNC Charlotte, internships are not an afterthought. They are part of the promise. Every undergraduate can access an internship opportunity before graduation. That promise is powered by our location in one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, a centralized Career Center, and flexible internship options designed to fit our students’ lives. - Dr. Patrick Madsen, Associate Dean for Advising & Experiential Learning/Executive Director of the Career Center

We recognize that not every student is able to do a full-time, traditional, internship.That’s why the Career Center team has crafted several different pathways to gain experience that also fits your personal journey and goals.
