Internship Opportunities
With the help of Wheaton's Filene Center for Work and Learning, students pursue internships at many high-tech and scientific companies. Opportunities for work in industry provide a rich context for on-campus study in computer science. Feeling business-related pressures to meet schedules, sharing responsibility and viewing software engineering applied to large projects are experiences that inspire students to complete their studies with renewed vigor. Students pursue internships for the summer, January break or the entire academic year.
