实习

Drake’s location in 得梅因, Iowa’s capital and largest city, means you will have many chances for professional experiences.

The learning that happens in the community, 状态, and even around the world—in hospitals, 会议室, 教室, 工作室, 实验室, and nonprofit organizations—is just as important as what takes place inside the classroom. It’s all part of preparing you to excel in the professional world.

得梅因 is home to industry giants like The Principal Financial Group, 富国银行(Wells Fargo), Meredith Corporation, 和Hy-Vee, 公司., as well as more than 60 insurance companies. 在得梅因, you’ll also find opportunities with numerous nonprofits, 状态 and local government agencies, 媒体, political campaigns during Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, 和更多的. In addition to all of the internships available locally, professors also work to connect students with national and international firms—from publishers in New York to legislators in Washington, D.C., to practicum experience in Africa.

Access to these opportunities—coupled with exceptional preparation in the classroom and guidance from the Professional and Career Development Services staff—is just one of the reasons the majority of our students graduate with at least one internship under their belt.
