Graduate with impressive experience

As a student here you’ll have the opportunity to join in on compelling research projects, intern in dynamic settings, and seek out relevant part-time work.

You may work to discover hidden truths about the opioid epidemic; examine the relationship between environmental policy and climate change; or show a regional business how a broken supply chain is costing them profit.

No matter what project you join, you’ll graduate with the real-world experience employers are looking for.

Don’t miss out

In addition to the experience you’ll gain through internships and research projects, you’ll participate in hackathons, have the opportunity to attend our annual bootcamp, and more.
