Internships can provide rewarding experiences that you have while at American University. You learn theory in class, but you can learn what to expect after your degree in an internship. 50% of the students who intern decide that they DON'T want to work in that field.

It's better to find that out after an internship rather than after thousands of dollars on degrees. Internships improve your academic work and can help you narrow your focus for future studies. They introduce you to new fields, help you develop or improve skills, build your resume, and can position you to network for future positions.
