Students can apply to paid, meaningful on-campus internships through the Temple University Internship Program (TUIP). The Career Center supports staff and faculty to recruit and hire interns, and to ensure that TUIP internships support students' career development and growth. Internships average roughly 10 hours/week depending upon the agreement of the students and their supervisors/mentors.

Students cannot receive academic credit for their TUIP internships. We cannot guarantee all TUIP internships will appeal to all majors. If you have suggestions for departments to invite to recruit, reach out to Holly Logan, Associate Director of Internships & Experiential Learning, at holly@temple.edu. Faculty and staff at Temple University can learn more about TUIP on the Supervisor page.
