The Importance of Internships
We believe that internships are a critical component of your academic and professional development. Our students have interned at some of the most prestigious companies and organizations in Greater Boston. Whether it's a tech giant, a non-profit, a government agency, or a start-up, our internship program has helped students like you gain invaluable experience and make meaningful contributions.
Here's why our goal is for every FSU student to complete an internship:
- Bridging the Gap Between Classroom and Career: Internships provide a unique opportunity to apply what you've learned in the classroom to real-world situations. They help you:
- Gain Practical Experience: Internships allow you to work in your field of interest, giving you hands-on experience that enhances your resume and sets you apart from other graduates.
- Build Professional Networks: Through internships, you can connect with industry professionals, mentors, and peers who can offer guidance, support, and future job opportunities.
- Develop Essential Skills: You'll develop key skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and time management, which are highly valued by employers.

“I gained invaluable experience interning at a tax firm while at FSU where I was able to work directly with clients on their tax returns. It helped set me up for a dream job offer at PwC prior to graduation.”
