Internships at ACU are decentralized, meaning any requirements or recommendations for specific majors are housed within that department, not by a central office on campus. Therefore, as an ACU student, your first stop when learning about internships for your degree should be your department and your academic advisor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I’ll list department contacts

If you’re wanting an internship position that is in high demand and for a large company that gets lots of applicants, I’d recommend looking and applying 7-8 months out (so November if you’re looking for a summer opportunity) because that’s when many of the large companies start posting and accepting applications. If the positions you’re going for aren’t in as high of demand, I’d recommend beginning your search 4-6 months out. If you’re looking for a position with a mom and pop location in your local town, 2-3 months out is probably okay, but remember, the longer you wait to approach something, the less prepared and professional you’ll appear – so don’t wait!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Check out My Open Internships Page” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Utilize my <\/span>Internship Openings<\/span><\/a> page for internship postings and other networks to consider to see if anything matches your interest.
