SMCC offers students the chance to participate in an internship program, which provides students with the opportunity to obtain on-the-job training and experience at a local business or community service agency. Students learn by observing, reflecting upon, and evaluating their internship experience. Internships may be paid or unpaid, for-credit or not-for-credit.
