  • Description: Given that paid internships often lead to higher paying positions postgraduation and that women continue to earn less than men for the same position despite their level of education (Women's Bureau, 2017), the authors were interested to understand whether women and other underserved groups were more or less likely to participate in paid or unpaid internships in college compared with their peers. The current study adds to the literature by taking advantage of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE; 2018) Quality High Impact Practices (HIP) Experiences itemset in which students were asked about their internship experiences to reveal more about the representation of students among paid and unpaid internships. The research question guiding this study was: What aspects of student background, academic major, or institution type are related to students participating in paid internships? To answer the research question, logistic regression analysis was employed to measure whether the dichotomous outcome of receiving pay could be significantly predicted by student background, academic major, or institutional characteristics. The author's analysis indicates that when each of these aspects are accounted for, only gender, race (for Asian students), academic major, institutional control, and internship measures are significant predictors of whether or not students receive payment for their internships.
