Yes they're semester long job interviews. But what you'll be doing as an intern is not consistent across companies or even across teams. You might be QA, which is nothing like writing production code. You also might be assigned a project instead of working on the code base with the rest of the group. You might even be a sys admin or something similar. If you're getting an internship, make sure you know what you're getting.
