Few studies have investigated the usefulness of internships at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI) where internships can have major financial and time-related costs. Focusing on a 4-year public HSI, this study examines differences between internship and non-internship students and changes across the semester for development in a range of areas. A structured internship appears to have some value, including increased interaction with faculty outside of the classroom, and confidence in verbally expressing ideas and class presentations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
