Understanding the Difference

Externships and Internships are valuable pre-professional experiences that are often confused, but they offer distinct learning opportunities. Internships are commonly one-on-one relationships with an employer (company) or a mentor, with the mentor choosing the intern.  Externships are team-based projects happening in a campus setting with the Externship staff matching students into project teams with pre-assigned mentors. While both provide valuable opportunities to gain exposure to a particular industry or field, externships focus on team-building skills in the context of a technical or business project.
