There is a lot of research opportunities at GMU. My daughter will have worked there two summers as a research intern and last year her work got published. She hasn’t even graduated high school yet. I had heard that they had received about 800 applications this year alone for summer internships. (It is very competitive to get one) INOVA fairfax hospital is also near by for those interested in the healthcare field. There is a shuttle to the metro station that makes it very convenient to explore the VA, DC, and MD area. There are so many companies in this area so opportunity to do an internship and take classes is quite possible. If you look at the majors offered by GMU you will see that students obtain skills for todays job market. College is what you make of the opportunities available to you. It is the students responsibility to be proactive to seek those opportunities and if it is not available then take the initiative to start something new. (a new club or activity or asking a teacher/advisor help you find some internship in your area of interest.)
