The '''Furman Office of Internships''' also offers fellowships, travel stiepends and funded internship opportunities for students in any field - from STEM related research projects to internships with international social justice organizations. In addition, the University's unique '''Furman Advantage''' program is designed to acknowledge and support students who pursue interesting and challenging educational opportunities beyond the classroom during the summer.

Through workshops, connections programs, online resources and personal advising, the Furman Office of Internships works with students to create opportunities to pursue their interests and apply what they learn in the classroom. By working with industry partners, community organizations, faculty, alumni, parents and friends of the University, the Office of Internships matches students with career paths in any field. Throughout the year, students are connected with members of the Furman Internship network through events that are planned to give advice and provide a link to internship opportunities.

Through a cross-instutitional partnership with Clemson Univeristy and the University of South Carolina, Furman University has entered into new academic partnership with the Greenville Health System (GHS) that will allow for the creation of innovative programs for undergraduate students interested in health-related careers. This partnership will provide students with an array of hands-on experiences at one of the Southeast’s largest health systems. As part of the agreement, Furman will be the Health System's primary undergraduate partner, providing its faculty and students, as well as those of other colleges in the area, with distinctive opportunities to study and work with healthcare professionals at GHS in both clinical and non-clinical settings.

The Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST®) seeks to promote running as a healthy physical activity by providing training based on scientific principles. The FIRST® provides scientific and time-proven information on all aspects of becoming a better runner and empowers runners of all ages and abilities to achieve their goals by developing individually tailored training programs. FIRST provides testing for the average to elite runner, believing that increased knowledge of personal fitness parameters facilitates precise development. Students join the institute’s researchers in studying the mechanics of running and the physiology of endurance. FIRST inspired the publication of the best-selling Runner’s World book, Run Less, Run Faster, which has led to a series of tools (apps, websites, online e-coaching programs) that connect runners with students / researchers and coaches at the institute.
