The Economics Internship Program
This program is an opportunity for senior Arts and Science students to get valuable job experience as well as academic credit for “learning by doing.” If selected, you perform 8 to 10 hours per week of unpaid work for a host employer and complete a project-related academic component (e.g., paper, presentation). Based on evaluation of your job performance and academic work, course credit for either Econ 387.3 or 385.6 for which you have registered is granted toward your degree. Tuition fees apply and you must meet the prerequisites for the 385.6 or 387.3 course under which you are credited.
