Internship Dates
Application Dates
Students must submit an internship application prior to the “access date” in order to receive access to internship sites on the access date shown for each semester. Students that apply after the access date will receive their SONIA access as soon as their internship application is processed. The processing time is generally 24-48 hours. Students can apply for internships throughout the year. Please note that internship opportunities become more limited as we move closer to the start of the semester, so it is recommended that students begin the process of securing an internship as soon SONIA access is available.
