By expanding the base of student internships in STEM fields, CSU Monterey Bay is furthering its efforts to create a campus engineered for student success. Undergraduate internships have been identified as a High Impact Practice (HIP) by multiple studies conducted throughout the CSU system. These studies suggest that participation in at least two HIPs during an undergraduate’s career will substantially increase the likelihood of their success in the program, as reflected in higher retention rates and GPA. Once a student is engaged in an internship aligned with their desired profession, they become more determined to succeed academically.

The Science Internship Program (SIP) is committed to giving our students as many opportunities as possible outside of the classroom. Many partnerships and collaborations have already been formed through SIP, resulting in jobs for students and a strong recruitment base for the partners.
