Internships

Internships are an excellent way to get experience in a particular field. They can be completed through UMW for academic credit, or not.

  • Internships taken for academic credit do count toward the Beyond the Classroom/Experiential Learning requirement
  • Internships do not count toward the Geography or Geospatial Analysis major

  • To register for an internship, use the Academic Internship Contract on the Registrar’s page
