Internship Information--Faculty & Staff

Students can choose from three types of internship opportunities.  Since the inception of the program in 1982 the program has placed over 2800 interns in more than 1100 locations in more than 25 states, Washington, DC, and 18 foreign countries.  The Bassett Internship Program teams with Career Services to find just the right experience for them and to match your needs with their interests and skills.

Academic Internships:  Students earn academic credit (3 hours) and a grade by conducting a non-paid internship through a Randolph-Macon course that takes them into the workplace. The program is open to juniors and seniors from all academic departments who hold an overall GPA of 2.25 or higher.  These placements are coordinated through academic departments.

Paid Internships:  Are open to the general student population and will aid with obtaining entry-level employment opportunities.  These are coordinated through the Career Services office.

Additional Programs: 

• A. Purnell Bailey pre-ministerial program for ordained ministry:  Bailey Scholars who are seniors at Randolph-Macon can gain exposure to the ministry. A stipend is offered to participants.
• Public Service / Non-profit Internships:  Students gain experience in the public service and non-profit sectors through a paid 10-week summer internship with companies like Goodwill of Central Virginia and Hanover Safe Place.
• Volunteer Internships:  Are open to the general student population and will aid with obtaining entry-level employment opportunities.  These are coordinated through the Career Services office.
• Disney College Program: Those who want to live, learn, and earn their way through a memorable and valuable experience, spend a semester at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. in a paid internship through the Disney College Program.
