Summer 2010 Internships
Whether in the greater Santa Barbara area, your hometown, or elsewhere, we encourage students to participate in summer internships! This is an excellent way to put your classroom knowledge to work and explore or "try on" a career idea. Unlike fall and spring semester internships, summer internships generally are not taken for academic credit. Back by popular demand, this summer we are offering a local, Mayterm internship course that focuses on ministry-related opportunities. For more information about this, please contact Kelly Soifer at kelly.soifer@gmail.com.
Otherwise, you will find internships listed below under these headings: Local, California, Out-of-State, and International.
