Internships & Service Learning
Sierra Nevada University has agreements for internship placement with a number of businesses, schools, resorts, and public service agencies. The internship experience complements and reinforces our classroom-based curriculum by allowing SNU students to put their creative and problem-solving skills to work in professional situations. Interns can earn up to 3 academic credits while experiencing first hand the realities and requirements of potential careers. In many cases, SNU graduates return to their intern placement sites for full-time employment.
The Internship and Service Learning Databases are good starting points for exploring internship opportunities. Please remember:
- Not all of the placements listed may still be available, or be available during your time frame.
- All SNU Tahoe students who contact organizations about internships or service learning projects are responsible for presenting themselves in a professional manner - you are representing the college!
Complete information for Students and Employers is in the Internship Handbook.
