Internship Opportunities
MacMurray College believes experience is the best teacher. MacMurray's curriculum is designed to offer experiential education opportunities and internships for students in order to better prepare them for their chosen career field. The MacMurray degree opens a world of opportunity. Graduates from Mac experience success throughout their professional and personal lives. They know that MacMurray has equipped them with a love for "life long learning." Our grads know that to get a job is no longer a matter of a quick-fix résumé and appropriate interview dress.
The Career Services Office equips our graduates with career insight coupled with confidence for the future. Employers recruit Mac graduates because they know the Mac grad is equipped with excellent credentials and views the work place as the place to demonstrate knowledge, confidence, and insight.
Whether through curriculum based practicums or the Career Experience Program, the internship opportunities offered at MacMurray College are "custom designed" for the student. Interns are able to gain professional experience in a particular career field and participate in the many opportunities available throughout the placement site while earning academic credit. These internships provide students the direction and tools needed to succeed in today's fast-paced work environment.
