Externship Program
An externship or job-shadowing experience generally lasts one to five days in duration. It will provide students the opportunity to gain an understanding of a career or industry in a focused and informative setting and observe professionals in their work environments. It also encourages students, alumni and organizations to forge strong and valuable connections in a shared experience. The Externship Program is not for academic credit and students are not compensated, but the experience will be greatly beneficial to both the students and sponsors. If you would like to participate, click here for more information. If you have questions about the program, please contact the Career Center at (617) 552-3430 or via email at ahanacs@bc.edu or externship@bc.edu.
Please note: Externship dates/application will be updated in the late fall to reflect the 2009 winter externship experience. We are looking for externship sponsors in NYC and Boston.
