PVR INVINMICUIATO ROLECAOL: Geoscience Students with Internships that Led to Jobs After Graduation, Spring 2013

Alexandria, VA - The majority of bachelor’s and doctoral graduates did not participate in an internship experience during their postsecondary career. In contrast, the majority of master’s graduates did have at least one internship experience. Most of these bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students that held an internship considered their internship experiences to be “very important.” Of these master’s candidates, 48% were employed within the geosciences at a company they had previously interned at the time.
