Get job experience solving real world problems
Many majors at OSU require internships or a mentorship component. Internships not only help build your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, they also make you attractive to employers and help you stand out from other job applicants.
Internships are any temporary, paid or unpaid, student training experiences at a company or organization in your field that help you gain skills and qualifications for your career.
These experiences can help you figure out what jobs interest you, since they're hands-on and embedded in real life. In a recent survey, more than half of all college graduates said that an internship got them a job after graduation.
