Many local employers post paid internship opportunities (along with part time and full time employment opportunities) on CSUSM’s Handshake a resource maintained by the Career Center.  There are also other special resources at the career center like “Going Global,” a database for international opportunities.

Other opportunities of interest to CHABSS students include the media internships through the CSU Entertainment Alliance.

Important

  • Learn about internships and the procedures and requirements of internships for which you seek academic credit before you look for a position. 
  • If you are a sophomore or junior, it is a good idea to explore this process now, don’t wait till you are a graduating senior.
  • Internship course offerings vary by semester. Please check with your department, program advisor or internship course instructor for updated course offerings, requirements, important deadlines and enrollment procedures and how these courses apply to your degree.
