Depending on the company, internships may only be offered to students at schools they recruit from. Also, the point of internships is really to give companies a low-risk feel for potential future hires, and students a bit of experience during the summer while they are between academic years. Considering non-traditional education generally runs year-round and serves a very different purpose to regular colleges, I think maybe you should consider whether an internship is the most appropriate thing to pursue in the first place. If you're a career changer, I think it'd be easier to either try to find an entry-level full-time position in your field and finish up your degree part-time or just finish as fast as possible and try to get some part-time experience on the side through volunteering, informal internships or freelancing before graduation.
