Academic Internships

Hands-on learning is a hallmark of a Cal State Monterey Bay education. Internships are one way to gain valuable real-world experience.

Putting Learning Into Action

Cal State Monterey Bay students of all majors have an opportunity to pursue an academic internship (or two). 

Our inspiring coastal location and proximity to Silicon Valley give CSUMB students incredible access to exciting internship opportunities.  

How It Works

You’ll find an internship site — such as a corporation, nonprofit or research organization — that aligns with your professional goals. Under the direction of your site supervisor, you’ll develop objectives, set a schedule and plot out on-site projects.

As part of the for-credit internship experience, you’ll enroll in a specific internship course. The process and requirements vary by major and program, but typically, you’ll check in with your faculty mentor and complete reflective assignments.
