Career Services Week: Did you know students in any major can do an internship? 73.5% of Viterbo internships were completed in the Coulee Region in 2020–21 and in Iowa, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington DC, and South Korea. 35% of internship sites were “new” having never hosted a Viterbo intern; 65% were non-profit. Most internships are completed by seniors, but sophomore and junior students are gaining traction. Summer internships are open now.
