Students at Bay Atlantic University now have even greater access to internship opportunities around the world, thanks to a new partnership with Virtual Internships. As a leading international internship platform, Virtual Internships will help connect students with global opportunities,
where they will apply the skills they are learning at BAU and gain real-world experience. This program will be piloted by a group of graduate-level students this spring, with plans in place to expand the program to undergraduate students in the future.
Dr. Sinem Vatanartiran, President of Bay Atlantic University, shares that “this collaboration underscores BAU’s commitment to equipping students with practical work experiences to complement their academic pursuits.” Daniel Nivern, CEO and Co-Founder of Virtual Internships, adds, “We look forward to supporting Bay Atlantic University’s progressive vision
to make internships an integral component of the higher education experience.”
