What is a Pre-Professional Internship and Why Should I Care?
 A pre-professional, or noncredit, internship is something you may do that is independent of your Marymount academic requirements and typically occurs before you complete your professional, or for-credit, Marymount internship.
Pre-professional internships are a great way to explore a career field, gain experience, learn about the inner workings of an office, choose a major, earn supplementary income, start networking, and build your resume! Even more, by engaging in a pre-professional internship, you will likely have a MUCH stronger sense of where you want to complete your required internship and know many more people who can help connect you with that opportunity. The more you explore, the more informed and purposeful you can be when making career related decisions!
