University Career Services manages Internship Programs for several academic departments at East Tennessee State University.
The purpose of our internship program is to provide learning and training opportunities
for students, outside the classroom and laboratory, as they work toward graduation
and transition to the labor market. Internship experiences provide unique opportunities
for partnerships between organizations and East Tennessee State University. Please
contact our office to discuss how we may serve your internship needs.

Internship Processing
Once the Internship staff receives your job description, the job description is sent to the dean or department head of the academic major you are requesting.
The dean or department head reviews the job description for academically related content
and returns the job description to our staff for advertising and processing of student
credentials.
The approved job description is advertised on our website under the specific major(s)
requested; it is also announced in classes by designated faculty, and is posted on
bulletin boards in academic departments.
