This report, based on data from a representative survey of 1,765 full time college students at 4-year colleges in the USA, looks closely at the number and kinds of internships sponsored by colleges that students have taken.  The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: which students have had internships and which have not?  How many have they had? How satisfied were they with these internships?  Were they paid or unpaid internships?  If paid, were they paid by the hour or by lump sum or honorarium?  If paid by the hour, how much did students make?

Just a few of the many findings of this unique 99-page report are:

  • Students who grew up in major cities were much more likely to have had internships than those who grew up elsewhere.
  • Nearly 24% of undergraduate students at private colleges have had an internship through their college.
  • Students studying environmental sciences or psychology were the most likely to have an unpaid vs. a paid internship.
  • About 4.3% more men had a paid than unpaid internship while for women, about 3.3% more had an unpaid than paid internship.
Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of the family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.
