We encourage students to think about where they will be during the break and explore opportunities near that city (since students are responsible for travel expenses). That means, opportunities do exist across the country (and even internationally). Since this program’s inception (in 2015), approximately 75% of externships are offered throughout Texas (when in person). There may be limited travel funding available for a small number of students - instructions will be included in each posting, if available. Please note that campus housing is not available during Winter Break. You are responsible for any travel expenses (unless otherwise noted in a specific externship description). Some hosts will meet with students multiple times in the semester (typically spring) but that is not the expectation. The length of an externship is determined by the externship host, but will typically be one-half day to three days (or, a shorter duration if virtual). Unlike most internships, externships do not offer pay or academic credit. **Please note that students are responsible for any travel expenses**įAQ What is the difference between an internship and externship?Īn externship is a short-term job shadowing opportunity (typically half day up to five days if in person or, an hour or two virtually), while internships last for longer periods of time.
