Academic Internships
Academic internships are an opportunity for you to gain work experience in a field that is closely connected to your academic program. You must be enrolled in an internship class prior to beginning your academic internship.
For more information on academic internships, please visit the Center for Internships and Service Learning at www.fullerton.edu/cisl, in Langsdorf Hall 209, or by calling (714) 278-3746. If your major requires an internship, you will need to contact the faculty internship coordinator for your program.
