What are Internships and Fellowships?
Gain experience to help you grow and find your path in public health.
Internships
An internship is an experience outside the classroom that helps students develop skills and gain supervised practical experience related to their academic or career interests. Students gain real-world experience and exposure to skill sets that help them be competitive candidates for full-time jobs when they graduate from Rollins.
Fellowships
Fellowships are competitive awards that enable individuals to pursue study in their field or that introduce students to related fields of study. They often advance, synthesize, or increase the applicant's skills in a specific area of interest. Fellowships may be an alternative to full-time jobs for recent graduates and are often considered to be very prestigious.
