Internship Resources for Students

Marquette's online career platform can help you in your search for jobs and internships. Students can access Handshake by using their Marquette username and password.

Suggestions for searching for internships via Handshake:

• Click on "Jobs" on the top of the page
• Once the Jobs page comes up, check off the "Internships" check box on the left (under "Job Type")
• Narrow the location down to your preferred location (i.e. "city, state")
• From here, you can look through the listing of internships and search for any positions that sound interesting to you; you can also type in descriptive keywords that will help narrow down the types of internships you are looking for (in the "keywords" search bar on the left, above "Location")

Remember that faculty in your department are here to help you both in and out of the classroom. Several departments have a designated internship coordinator.

• Biology and Environmental Studies — Dr. Rosemary Stuart

We encourage you to reach out to these coordinators as you plan your internship. Whether your department is listed above or not, do not hesitate to schedule a meeting with your advisor or a current professor to discuss your career goals and find out about internship opportunities within your field.
