While internships are a high-impact practice tied to student completion and job placement after college, not every student is taking advantage of internships. For some, time is a barrier, with a high academic course load and outside of class activities that put pressure on learners. For others, paying for college means they can’t take time away from their current jobs or need payment to participate in an internship. Recent data from Handshake shows gaps in application trends among student majors. Students in business, computer science and engineering majors are twice as likely to have applied to an internship by senior year compared to those in social sciences, art and design, general studies, or health professions.
