Combining one or more internship learning experiences with your Augsburg education will serve you well. You will be able to apply your knowledge and skills, test out your course theories and discover what you want to do; or, equally as important, what you don't want to do as a potential career path.
Many past interns have commented that you become more aware of what you know, don't know and need to know when back in the classroom. In addition, most students realize that an:

Off-campus upper division internships done for credit or not for credit transcript notations will also fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.
