internships
The job market is more competitive than ever—whether you’re a recent college graduate or an experienced professional. For new graduates, breaking into your field can be challenging, especially if you’re changing careers, re-entering the workforce, or recovering from a layoff. Employers seek qualified candidates with both knowledge and hands-on experience.
Bellevue University recognizes the value of real-world learning. Our degree programs are designed to build career-ready skills, taught by faculty who bring their professional experience into the classroom. For students who want an additional edge, the University offers resources and guidance for pursuing internships and other experiential learning opportunities that help strengthen knowledge and skills.
Internships range from part-time unpaid roles to full-time paid positions—and some can even lead to permanent employment. Special projects and volunteer work can also provide meaningful opportunities to gain practical experience. Whether paid or unpaid, the ultimate goal of an internship is to build valuable skills, increase your marketability, and enhance your earning potential.
With students located around the world, Bellevue University shares internship information through email announcements and social media, including LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter). This outreach ensures that all students—on campus and online—have access to Career Services opportunities.
Internship listings are also available through the College Central Network. To access these listings, simply complete a short registration process.
International Internships
Looking for a way to stand out? An international internship can be an excellent opportunity to build global experience and expand your professional skills. Internships abroad allow you to earn academic credit while developing cross-cultural competencies, navigating new environments, and enhancing your language proficiency—all while gaining hands-on experience in your field.
