Vaulter78 - we had the opposite experience. When we attended the prospective student tour, Accepted Students Day and the Eagle Summer (orientation), the school had a lot to say about the availability of internships. In fact, during Accepted Students Day, we had lunch with a man from the Career Center and was very impressed with what he had to say. My daughter is a rising senior and she and her friends have held numerous internships during their time at AU. However, while the school helped my D with her resume, mock interviews, cover letter review, etc., the school did not find her the internships. She researched openings and where she wanted to work and e-mailed her resume and cover letter. The internships won’t fall in your lap - you have to look for them and apply to them. However, AU will give you lots of support. There are career fairs and internship fairs where companies and organizations come to the school. I can’t really speak about those since that is now how my daughter got her internships. I can say that if you want advice and assistance, AU is there to help.
