Why CS at Elon? Resources | Internship OpportunitiesMany students choose to gain additional experience outside of the classroom by participating in co-op, internship, and other work experiences prior to graduation. Required skill sets vary, ranging from Microsoft Office to programming to networking capabilities. Internships satisfy the Experiential Learning Requirement. You must register for this opportunity prior to beginning your work experience. The Department of Computing Sciences offers internships in both Computer Information Systems and Computer Science. Companies providing such opportunities to recent Elon students include Imagimax (Bangkok, Thailand), Infinity Broadcasting Corp (Lanham, MD), Merck (Elkton, VA), Mitchell Wayne Technologies (Birmingham, AL), Shodor Foundation (Durham, NC), Spunlogic (Atlanta, GA), St. Paul Travelers (Hartford, CT). What recent interns have to say:"Being able to complete an internship this summer has opened up many options for me. It provided me with an opportunity to concentrate thoroughly on certain areas of Computer Science that I am interested in and gave me hands-on experience in the field. Due to normal textbook answers not applying in many cases, I would often find myself having to incorporate many different tools that I had not used in the classroom environment. The internship I completed with the Department of Computing Sciences has enabled me to troubleshoot problems much more effectively and I now have more definition in my career path. I highly recommend that every student be involved in at least one internship before graduation." Matt Holt, '06 “I am really glad that I did my internship. It opened up my perspective of the real world, where everything does not always go perfectly. There were hurdles that I had to get through to complete tasks. I also learned many interesting applications that were used in different parts of the organization. I have a better view of my career path and what I need to prepare myself before getting out to the real world.” Ter Malasitt, '05 | Current Opportunities For more information on internships:
