Students

Get Experience

Emory University provides students numerous ways to obtain experiential learning opportunities beyond the classroom.  The Real Life guide (pdf) outline some of the options which students can consider as a means to developing the skills and knowledge necessary to compete in today’s global work force.

Internships are defined as “any carefully monitored work or service experience in which an individual has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what he or she is learning throughout the experience.”  - National Society for Experiential Education.  

This Internship Guide (pdf) will help you to get started. Additionally, The Career Center provides two online resources where employers have the ability to list their internship opportunities for Emory students;

Eagle Ops is Emory's on-line career management system helping students connect with hiring organizations for a wide variety of employment opportunities including Internships.  The Career Center’s On Campus Interviewing (OCI) program is also managed through this site, as well as a calendar feature that includes the most current information on upcoming career related programs and events.


is a consortium of 20 highly selective colleges and universities that was founded in 1996 to share internship listings.  The UCAN Internship database lists thousands of domestic and international internships, fellowships and other short-term opportunities, making it one of the most comprehensive internship resources on the Internet. Only currently enrolled Emory students can access the database by using their "@Emory.Edu" address as their username and their Emory University ID# as their password.
