Internships, Research & Careers

As a liberal arts and sciences college, Emmanuel College affords its students the intellectual tools to cultivate their interests and talents, explore diverse professional fields and succeed. But it's more than just the knowledge acquired from textbooks that will provide students with a competitive advantage.

At Emmanuel, internships and research are considered a priceless component of the educational experience.

Internships

Research Opportunities
At Emmanuel, students prepare for fasten-your-seatbelt explorations into a universe of "Why?" and "What if?" with the potential to make a powerful impact in peoples' lives. At most colleges, working on major research projects shoulder-to-shoulder with faculty is for graduate students. At most colleges, undergrads never see their work in print. But Emmanuel is not most colleges. This is a personal college committed to meaningful work. Read an Emmanuel Magazine article about faculty-student collaborative research »
