Looking to elevate your organization and its mission? You'll want graduate students from Bay Path University to be your interns in a project(s)-based experience. Students may spend the whole or part of their 160-hour experience online or in person contributing to your organization's mission and projects over the course of an average of 4 months in the Spring or Fall.

The practicum/internship experience is a bridge connecting students’ academic and professional careers. Students often bring new ideas, public health theory, and cutting-edge technology to an organization and its projects.

Thanks to your professional guidance, students will enhance their knowledge, confidence, dedication, and leadership skills to contribute positively to the profession. Through their engagement with your organization, they will benefit from networking opportunities and experience in a professional environment where they are a contributing member of the team.

Please note: paid internships are encouraged.
