Internships
Value-added Internships
The value of your internship experience increases when you add intentionality. Set goals and get support and resources, from pre-internship orientation through post-internship reflection. Upskill your internship and empower your career exploration journey.
Earn Academic Notation
Earn academic transcript notation for your internship experience while you apply your academic knowledge in the workplace. A partnership between you, employers, and the Knowlton Center establishes requirements, such as post-internship reflection, that increase the value of your internship. You earn academic transcript notation once the requirements are fulfilled and approved.
Stipends
At Denison, financial need doesn’t get in the way of a terrific internship. If your preferred internship is unpaid or low-paid, you can apply for a stipend as part of the Denison Internship Program. Your stipend will supplement your compensation up to an eligibility amount*.
*Each student’s stipend eligibility amount is dependent on financial need level as determined by the Office of Financial Aid. This ensures we support as many students as possible.
