Succeed with real-world internships
“I thought I would be making photocopies and getting coffee; instead I was surveying customers and traveling to trade shows.”
Where can I work as an intern?
You can choose where you want to intern or our career services office can help you coordinate an internship based on our strong connections with all types of businesses and organizations in the Greater Portland area and beyond. Your professors can also help set up an internship based on their professional networks.
Can an internship lead to a job?
Yes. For example, Courtney Rague '11 recently was offered a full-time job with the Portland Sea Dogs as sales director of tickets after she interned with the Sea Dogs, a minor-league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. See other examples, too.

Study abroad
“It's the best opportunity in your college career. It makes you get out of your own bubble and makes you see other people and interact with people from all over the world. You get to experience many different countries because of how many students study abroad. I met more than 200 people from other countries that were studying abroad in South Korea. I got to see things in a different light.”—Kristen Demers ’11
