UMBCWORKS

There are lots of opportunities for on campus jobs and internships nearby. A good way to take advantage of these is to create a UMBCworks profile. UMBCworks is a platform for students and alumni to upload their resume, search for jobs, and curate their profile. You can also schedule appointments with a Career Center advisor to review your resume, practice interviewing, and more.

UMBCworks is also where you can get credit for an internship you complete. To do so you must enroll in PRAC. PRAC is short for Practicum. Practicums are zero-credit courses for students participating in internships, co-ops, research, and on-campus employment. But if you complete PRAC and enroll in your major’s internship specific class, you can earn credit hours for your time in the field. For more information on how to do this, visit the Career Center to speak with an advisor or go online to careers.umbc.edu.
