Future connections

One of the best ways to make the leap from student to professional is to secure an internship during your studies. Not only does the hands-on experience gained during an internship allow you to really see what the career field is all about, it is the beginning of a professional network that can connect you to that first real job after undergrad or grad school.

High impact practices like internships are a priority at UW-Eau Claire, and departments like physics are ready to help you if this is one of your goals. The outstanding staff in Career Services are also experts and will assist you in finding the right internship for you.
