Internships

In partnership with the CSUF Center for Internships and Community Engagement (CICE), the Department of Public Health has established a database of over 1200 internship opportunities. Every year (spring, summer, and fall) we place approximately 500 students in health-related internship positions across Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Undergraduate students complete 120 hours at their internship site, two professional development workshops through CSUF Career Center, regular updates with their faculty adviser/instructor, and a final portfolio highlighting their work and accomplishments. As a required course for all Public Health majors, this hands-on experience provides students the ability to apply concepts learned in the classroom to the health field. In addition, it assists them in developing and solidifying career interests and goals. 

Public Health graduate (MPH) students are also required to complete an internship course; however, their internship tasks, duties, and objectives are created in relation to specific criterion per Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accreditation standards.

 

Spring 2026 PUBH 495: Internship Orientation

If you plan to take PUBH 495 in the Spring 2026 semester, you MUST complete ONE Zoom Orientation in order to register for PUBH 495 for Spring 2026.

The Prerequisite for taking PUBH 495 is to take this course in your Last Semester. So, if Spring 2026 is NOT your last semester, than you do not need to attend one on these meeting, there will be a sepereate group of Orientation for Summer and Fall 2026 students.

 

Zoom Meeting Dates:

  • Tuesday, 11/4 – 1:00-2:30pm
  • Monday, 11/10 – 11:00am-12:30pm
  • Wednesday, 11/12 – 11:00am-12:30pm

 

Join Zoom Meeting (Same Link for all Meetings):

Meeting ID: 871 7027 5244

Invite Link: https://fullerton.zoom.us/j/87170275244 

 

NOTE: You must attend an Orientation to be Permitted to Register for PUBH 495. PUBH 495 never fills and never closes, so if you attend an Orientation after your Registration Window opens, you will still have no problem registering for PUBH 495 once you have attended an Orientation Meeting.

Once you have completed this 1.5-hour Zoom session you will then complete a short online survey (link will be provided during Zoom meeting). This will then enable you to be permitted to register for the course (PUBH 495).

These sessions will NOT be recorded you must attend one!

Thank you!
