"The friendships I've made at Thomas have been nothing short of amazing; in such an intimate, tight-knit community, you get to know other students quite well. These are the relationships that will last long after I graduate, some for a lifetime. I’m also really excited to think about ten years down the road and see what we’ve become, reflecting back on how our Thomas experience helped to shape and guide us."

Internships at Thomas College

What do the San Antonio Spurs, MacDonald Page Schatz & Fletcher, and Virginia Tech all have in common?  They have all recently hired Thomas College students for internships.  See more recent internship placements by clicking here!

What is the Internship Program?

The Thomas College Internship Program is an academically oriented honors program that offers selected juniors and seniors in four and five year programs as well as seniors in two-year programs an opportunity to learn while being engaged in career related employment.  Interns will be working in a field that is directly related to their major and/or graduate concentration, with a professional in industry, business, government, or a social service organization.  Students work part-time or full-time (see details below) for 15 weeks during one of the semesters.  The students are evaluated by employers and their performance is monitored by the Director of Career Services.

Students participate in an internship seminar consisting of reading and discussing appropriate literature, maintaining a journal of activities, submitting a major paper related to the internship experience and readings, and demonstrating professional growth and development based upon a job-site evaluation.

Once in a position, students are expected to work to their highest capabilities and to maintain the highest level of conduct.  While most internships provide payment, others do not.  Students are required to register for the Internship Program and they must pay normal tuition for the academic credits they are earning on the internship.

If your company is interested in hiring an intern, please call (207) 859-1106 or email us.  We will work with you to find the right student for the job!


Thomas students have an edge in landing the best jobs in their field. It's no secret that employers today prefer to hire graduates that already have experience. 

Our Internship program at Thomas is specifically designed to:

  • Get students the experience they need to jump-start their careers

  • Help students make professional contacts within their fields

  • Allow them the opportunity to "earn while you learn"
