An enrollment-based community internship combines classroom learning with real-world experience in a professional setting at a non-FIU community organization. This experiential learning opportunity allows you to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the classroom while advancing your professional development.  You can choose to enroll in a CASE internship course for credit or zero credit, and in some cases, internship credits may count toward graduation.

Important Considerations:

  1. Check with your CASE academic advisor to determine how the internship applies to your progress toward graduation.
  2. International students must consult with the FIU Office of International Student & Scholar Services before enrolling.

Internships offer real advantages. Check out how they can help you grow, explore your interests, and get ahead in your career.

Real-World Experience: Apply what you’ve learned in class to actual work situations, helping you gain practical skills you can use no matter where your career takes you. 

Career Exploration and Professional Growth: Discover potential career paths, learn from industry professionals, and enhance your skills, all while gaining insight into your chosen field. 

Mentorship: Benefit from the guidance of mentors both at FIU and in your workplace, who will support your growth and development throughout your internship. 

Networking: Build connections with professionals in your field, which can lead to valuable references and potential job offers. 

Competitive Edge: Internships are one of the primary tools employers use to recruit entry-level college graduates. Your experience will help you stand out in the job market. 

Academic Credit: By enrolling in an internship course for credit, you can earn academic credit that may count toward your degree.
