Internships Through The Shriver Center

UMBC students have the opportunity to step outside the boundaries of the classroom and experience the real world through internships and service-learning opportunities. In addition to gaining valuable work experience, students may also receive three upper-level credits in their major.

Students attending classes at USG through UMBC may visit our office for help with resumes and cover letters as well as internship and service-learning placements. Ray Regimbal, Assistant Director of Internships and Service-Learning at UMBC-Shady Grove, is looking forward to helping you achieve your goals through applied learning.

Examples of agencies that have offered internships to our students:

ARC of Frederick County

Children Achieving Maximum Potential

Children's National Medical Center

Guide Program (working with teens, young adults, and adults)

Mental Health Association (Bridges to Pals & Montgomery County Hotline)

Montgomery County Police Department

Montgomery County Pre-Trial Services

Students who have had internships report:

"I really enjoyed the challenge that this internship provided me. I was able to do things I never would have thought were possible without having a full-time job with this organization. I have grown and developed great self-confidence that I know will lead me in the right direction for my career."

"What I learned as a result of this internship is something that I will never forget."

"An internship will open your eyes, open doors, and open communication with experts in your field of interest. Get one!"

Internships and service-learning opportunities allow students to network with professionals in their field, which helps in the job search process after graduation.
