Internships provide great career preparation experiences and they are mutually beneficial to students and employers. We invite you to offer Madonna students the opportunity to use their project management, analytical, and problem-solving skills to help your business. Internships typically last 15 weeks during Fall (Sept. through Dec.) and Winter (Jan. through April) semesters, and 12 weeks during Summer semester (May-mid August). Students are required to obtain a certain amount of hours if taking an internship for credit. For more information, please contact 734-432-5623 or careerdevelopment@madonna.edu.
