Can Massachusetts students participate in internships in other states?
For a Massachusetts student to participate in an internship outside of Massachusetts, the state in which they would work must allow for it and all labor laws that are pertinent to that state must be followed. This can be a complicated matter, requiring research on the part of the internship coordinator beginning with the pertinent state’s Department of Labor.
