Internships below are currently available for consideration. Positions will continue to be added as companies register. Waitlisted students should follow the instructions in the email to select from available internships. 

​

Most internships are for a duration of two consecutive weeks in June or July with full-time hours. Some internship hosts have selected specific starting and ending work dates. Internships with required work dates listed are not flexible. If there are no specific work dates listed or several sessions listed as options, that means that the host has some flexibility when scheduling work dates. In some cases, hosts can take one intern at a time so the first intern to confirm dates with a host will have the first choice of dates. Final dates are determined by the intern hosts.  

Please do not apply for an internship if you cannot meet all of the prerequisites and work dates listed including any mandatory orientation attendance. If an employer listed specific prerequisites or work dates, these are non-negotiable.

Internship Sessions:

Session 1 - June 1 through June 12                                  Session 5 - June 29 through July 10
